There are a ton of really articulate and intelligent people here, but they have no central goal to work towards together and really only use this place as a dumping ground for their hyperactive minds
Mix that with 4chan's tendency to stay off-topic, and you get a nice big soup of interesting and well-worded posts about the most unacademic and insignificant concepts.
There's no other place I know of where I can watch a masterful socratic debate play out over how gay traps are or why Rupi Kaur is so bad

[Anonymous No.11634418]

Against all odds, many people on this board seem to genuinely care about books, literature, philosophy, and the great dialogue of ideas in the West. And I do mean GENUINELY care, as opposed to just putting on an image to cultivate an aura and appear cool and interesting to people.

You beautiful autists are crazy enough to think books and ideas really matter, and I love you for that.

/lit is like methadone for my 4chan addiction. It isn't sober, but it's damn sure better for me than /pol or /r9k

[Anonymous No.11635517]

/lit/ is really nice because after 13 years of being on 4chan, 10 of those spent shitposting on /b/,/v/, and /cgl/ I’ve finally figured out how to use 4chan to enhance my life and learn things without losing the bitter, hateful, and generally smarter than me attitude that this website gives off. I’ve learned how to lift, paint, woodwork, sew, give advice, and a ton of other things here, and /lit/ is the sun total of that. Reading was a pleasure when I was young and it was only my intense hatred of legal writing that I decided to seek out something that would make me love the English language again. And I found that in /lit/. Thanks y’all. Every shit post, insult, prayer for this heathen y’all eschew is well appreciated. I’m going to be a better lawyer thanks to arguing with you fags.

objectively, in this kind of polls, which are the two least biased reactions?

[Anonymous No.11638160]

>>11638134

Well, I'm not sure how bias comes to into the picture. I guess the viewpoint with the least motivation is Aristotle's, as Plato's and Diogene's arguments seem poised to justify a fetish, even if this fetish is not 'gay'.

Given that Diogenes is much more 'down to Earth', I'd say from least biased to most it goes Aristotle, Diogenes, and then Plato.

This board actually reignited my love of reading after I stopped (despite reading a shitload while in school). Also, this place generally has pretty good taste in books and it’s the only site I’ve seen where real philosophical debate can happen without censorship or downvotes.

I like to think that our legacy only appears shallow in the long run because of its broadness. Immediately after death, we affect a few people deeply, and many generations after, we affect many slightly.

[Anonymous No.11638455]

I despise literature but I am indifferent to anyone who enjoys it. The West is a weak culture LARPing as the cultural descendants of the Greeks, while the East is at least transparently weak. We are nothing like the Greeks we idealize. Also, literature is not an academic discipline. Your favorite book, or whatever you think is the peak of literature, is insignificant.
