Is /s4s/ the taste of things to come?

1) Freedom from the constraints of traditional art? Check
2) Collective creation? Check
3) Self conscious creation? Check
and most importantly
4) Post-irony? Check
and so on and so on

Just compare the place to /lit/ - /lit/ is stuck in endless repetition of dead art, while /s4s/ is bursting with creation. Things are actually happening there. 'But it's pointless nothing!' - so is postmodernism (and I'm not dissing PM here). The folks there made a fucking album:
https://soundcloud.com/kleenex-kek/for-dubs-or-money
I bet that /lit/ has a grand total of 0 pages made through cooperation.

Can we expect to see /s4s/ spreading? Is it the new Tao Lin? Are you ready for postpostmodernism?

Most of the people advocating postmodernism or this insidious concept of "postpostmodernism" that you have just suggested know almost nothing of the history of the Great Conversation. They're trying to make new pathways of the thought without even knowing the great ones that came before. How many self-identifying postmodernists do you know who can read Latin or Greek? What this age needs is not new or unheard of discoveries, we need to rediscover those that were made it in the past which we have completely forgotten.

I think this is a bit too harsh. I'm all for standing on the shoulders of giants, but the idea that you have to know Greek or Latin is kind of ridiculous. Mathematicians don't have to learn Sanskrit or Arabic. Physicists don't learn Latin to read Leucippus. Reading all the primary sources of a field is in many ways commendable (I have a healthy respect for St. John's College), but disqualifying the contributions of others because they have not done so is foolhardy.

Just like spending a day looking after 700 children flinging shit and crying is fun right?

There's no conversation, there's no discussion; it's a cesspit of adolescent losers trying to one up each other by being the 'wittiest', or being the most 'ironic' shitposter.

Who cares if 2% of these children's recycled discharge happens to be 'original content'. A steaming turd is a steaming turd after all, no matter the recency of it's birth.

This is ridiculous and highlights how the whole idea of the board has evolved into being contrarian for nothing but the sake of being contrary. Irony, meta, counterculture is not indicative of originality. The majority of 4chan pulls one way so when a board decides to pull the exact opposite direction that's worthy of being considered innovative?

Consider train tracks running from north to south. Whether you're traveling north or south, you're still traveling on the same tired tracks that the other trains run on. Innovation suggests a derailing, or taking flight.

Spin it how you will, appreciate the oh so witty irony if you must, but it won't change the fact that it's just the same old shit, recycled beyond any meaningful recognition.

4chan would be a better place if it dropped the belief that it holds some inherent superiority to the rest of the internet and stopped trying so hard to be the ultimate trend setter.

Nevermind, I think I know why. On 4chan, you can hide behind anonymity so you have free reign to be a gigantic douche without any consequences, to make yourself feel superior and better about yourself. On any other website, you couldn't do that because people would hate you. This is why 4chan is full of social rejects. The people on s4s are a miniscule group of people that aren't like this, and, that, not the everlasting conquest to be the most "witty" and ironic, is why people go on s4s. Because they're friendly and accepting enough to assimilate into a board culture that shames rudeness.
