/lit/ - Literature

[king: aether No.1439161]

/lit/, I'm writing a e-mail to moot requesting a Philosophy board (someones gotta do it), can you help me design its contents? It needs to be persuasive and vaguely entertaining to read. Here's what I have so far:

>Dear Moot, It has come to my attention that 4chan is in dire need of a Philosophy section, mainly due to the vast amount of Religion, Pseudo-Science and Philosophy threads scattered on almost every sub-board. I am not alone in my beliefs, there are many of us literally craving for the letters "/ph/" to appear to the right of "/sci/" (in those little cute boxes like "/cm/" and /y/"). It would be alike the Sith and the Jedi, the home for the super heroes (and super faggots) of 4chan!

[Anonymous No.1439163]

pretty sure that /lit/ is the board you're looking for duder

[king: aether No.1439176]

No. It's definitely not. /lit/ is Literature, whereas, Philosophy is... Philosophy. We need a Philosophy board so we have a place for the Good people to group up -- it's only fair, the Evil people hang out on /sci/.

/lit/ is Philosophy. Keep in mind that almost all philosophies are based on the writings of someone or other.

[Anonymous No.1439186]

yeah, I am all for a intellectual quarantaine board.

lets herd those faggots in there and burn them up with thermite.

maybe then some reasonable discussion can take place with people who didnt just read the wiki article on something and therefore declared themselves experts.

[STLFag !IeX.oK0HUk No.1439191]

You'd really just be creating two boards where that exact phenomenon occurs.

To clean up 4chan of all the pretentious and classy Religion/Philosophy/Pseudo threads we should all e-mail moot asking politely for a new Philosophy based image-board. This has been brought up in the past but I doubt anyone actually e-mailed the request!

Below is a simple yet effective paragraph that we can copy and paste; saving people time and effort, making the process of the request quick & easy:

>Dear Moot, It has come to my attention that 4chan is in dire need of a Philosophy section, mainly due to the vast amount of Religion, Pseudo-Science and Philosophy threads scattered on almost every sub-board.

1. Copy the green text.
2. Open up whatever e-mail provider you use.
3. Create new message.
4. Paste into your e-mail contents.
5. Put subject as: "Philosophy Board".
6. Put email as: [e-mail]
7. Send.

[STLFag !IeX.oK0HUk No.1439207]

I'm going to email Moot and let him know that I'm staunchly against this entire thing.

All Theists should help with this, then we'll have a board specifically for us.

lolno

[Lord: Aether the Philosopher No.1439233]

All Theists should support this notion for we currently do not have an image-board to hang out on, in fact, we are all scattered around at various parts of the website. With /ph/ we would have our very own board where we can discuss what we want without the constant "Not related" remarks or nonsensical trolling.

That board exists. It's /lit/. Yeah, people are going to argue with you. That's because there's a lot of people who legitimately disagree with your views, not because they're trolling. Nothing will change on /ph/. It is not going to be some kind of theist homeland. This is not some weird Zionist thing. This is the internet.

[Lord: Aether the Philosopher No.1439250]

>>1439239
Why are you suppressing this? "Debate me!" You're a fucking lunatic, that's why. I'd prefer to have a friendly board for people who enjoy what I enjoy rather than having to blend in with all the heresy and grumpy trolls (like yourself).

[Anonymous No.1439271]

>>1439233
so, all you want is a place for you and your delusional buddies to clap yourself on the shoulder?

you know that philosophy encompasses far more than talking about how this nice bearded man in the sky watching you masturbate looks like?

you are the reason a philosophy board is not a good idea.

No. Not at all. I'm a fan of Philosophy and, for the record, I know a lot more than you think about God, so probably not the best person to say "Man in the sky" to.

>Man
>Sky
God is neither. This is one reason why I'd prefer to have /ph/, because you wouldn't have dumb gullible rodents like yourself who cannot measure God correctly.

Anyhow, it's Philosophy, not Religion, that I'm attempting bring together. You wouldn't put Literature in a Philosophy board (unless is was Philosophy related), so why would it be vice versa.

In short, no, you're just a retard angsty adult who strives to appear smart, famous and upper-class. In your world that matter, in ours it doesn't.

Never happened

I'm willing to bet Moot gets so many e-mails he really doesn't care. Only the larger boards get subdivided they have enough people to function reasonable. /lit/ does not

My guess is this is never gonna work

[Anonymous No.1439326]

>>1439286
I would ask you how long you have been here, but odds are you would get snippy and exaggerate/be an asshole. You seem to not understand what 4chan is like. Do you honestly think that a /phi/ board will somehow be outside the reaches of "dumb gullible rodents"? Really? Just be satisfied with the occasional philosophy thread and the few decent posts therein. All discussable philosophy has been written down inb4 obscure reference and defamatory remarks so it all belongs on /lit/ anyway.

(Also, you have no fucking room to criticize anyone, with your fucking holy-than-thou attitude; if you really do have so much more knowledge on these topics than we do, why don't you devote your time to actually fucking teaching rather than being a snob who can't handle any sort of disagreement and parries all perceived attacks with '2deep4u' asshole-ish responses? [From what I can see, you're a useless pseudo-intellectual with a locked head and no concept of the true nature of knowledge or the spirit of debate])

tl;dr
STFU

That italic text idea sounds awesome. We should definitely appeal for that. We also need to permaban Tybrax.

[Lord: Aether the Philosopher No.1439349]

>>1439326
I don't see the problem with a /phi/ board, it would be HQ for Theists / Philosophers / Pseudo-Scientists (who are currently spread out around 4chan).

You always hear offensive and aggressive (sometimes/mostly ad hominum) remarks like:
-"Thats pseudo-scientific bullshit!"
-"Religion: NOT RELATED"
And a lot more, use your head.

With this board, this would be controlled AND it would evolve, giving the people who enjoy PScienece and Theism a ground where they can discuss and educate themselves properly on their beliefs/fields of expertise.

Stop being gay, that's all.

Problem: Boards are created when there is sufficient demand for them that they begin interfering with other boards. That's why there's a /vp/ board, since the Pokemon discussions made /v/ unreadable.

But since 4chan isn't the London Stock Exchange or anything, we can only hope this works, but Moot may very well just wipe his ass with our demand.

You have to discuss philosophy with science, literature, film & television etc. etc. They're not islands. And if you can't stand that level of discussion, gtfo.

[Anonymous No.1439427]

>>1439373
I thought for some time now that it would be pretty nice if there were a board about various beliefs and philosophy. Seeing how you behave I understand why there isn't one.
For a person who claims to spearhead the grounding of a board please tone down your dickhead attitude and swallow the shit you're chewing before speaking please. There is no need for you to go around screaming that you're a theist (because no one is interested, to be honest, nor is it relevant in any way), or how you're a master of debate (by the use of LO NO U). I fully support the idea of a new (dead since the beginning) board, but I also already claim that you're the cancer that's killing it.
