/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.6536425]

Is literature & philosophy inherently fedora? Grand sweeping statements about humanity and the euphoria of forming an ego by reading books from a pre-selected archive. This board is proof that being well-read doesn't mean shit. Convince me why I should even bother to read and not just go out and create my own experiences rather than stealing some else's?

>every writer /lit/ reads was a complete failure at life, couldn't even get a real job
>most had sex with one or two women in their entire lives
>most had weird, autistic and cringey personalities

yep sounds about right

No, they inherently religious, not atheist, especially when they have an atheist theme.

This board proves nothing of the sort. I'm fairly confident that nobody who frequently posts on /lit/ is well-read.

No, it's not. But why should you want to be convinced? There's a lot of energy put into keeping you from your birthright. Why not just take the easy way out and let them do it. Go watch some shitty meme movie, go bowl, go piss your life away. It makes no difference.

/lit/ may be stupid, but is less stupid than most other boards.
>reading is stealing experiences
what the fuck is this

>If God is dead, everything is permitted

>God is dead, and we have killed him.

>Among all creatures that breathe on earth and crawl on it there is not anywhere a thing more dismal than man is.
*tips fedora

is anything in the western canon not filled with cringey shit? it's like a writer's disease to just spew out all the cringey shit they can.

...which were never meant to be taken as objective statements of reality, but autists can't help themselves.

Honestly, at this point, calling something fedora tier is fedora tier.

Has anyone ever called someone a fedora IRL?

This one time in an Intro to Philosophy class, we were discussing the Ontological argument of God, and some neckbeard fedora (he didn't really have a neckbeard or a fedora but if you didn't know that, you would think he would) said that it was just playing around with word meanings, so I said, "Epic rebuttal, good sir, I tip my fedora to you." He said he didn't get it, because I didn't have a fedora, but some cute girls got it and they started laughing.

Ok let's be honest. If you read books at all outside of school, you're a fedora

Ha, nobody here is well-read, unless you think readings blurbs about literature and skimming through classics makes one well-read.

/lit/ is basically just /a/ or /tv/ with a high brow facade. fucking cunnyfags and pedos everywhere.

It's mostly arguments from authority aimed at independently wealthy people, yes.

[Anonymous No.6536589]

Well,there is literature and philosophy made just like any other activity or hobbie,and there is the kind that has to do with serious psychological issues,when the person feels empty and create all kinds of delusion,like mishima,nitty,and all other people who coudnt deal with life

[Anonymous No.6536620]

This board has really fucked me up. Anything even remotely metaphysical or romantic just makes me think of the fedora meme.

your time hasn't come yet cunnyfag, once women and homos are equal we'll work on getting your kind accepted into society. you are literally the bottom of the barrel right now. not that i agree, but defending pedophilia is essentially a fedora position.

"One day in 1867, a farm hand from the village of Lapcourt, who was somewhat simple-minded, employed here then there, depending on the season, living hand-to-mouth…was turned in to the authorities. At the border of a field, he had obtained a few caresses from a little girl, just as he had done before and seen done by the village urchins round about him…So he was pointed out by the
girl's parents to the mayor of the village, reported by the mayor to the gendarmes, led by the gendarmes to the judge, who indicted him and turned him over first to a doctor, then to two other experts.

What is the significant thing about this story? The pettiness of it all; the fact that this everyday occurrence in the life of village sexuality, these inconsequential bucolic pleasures, could become, from a certain time, the object not only of a collective intolerance but of a judicial action, a medical intervention, a careful clinical examination, and an entire theoretical elaboration."

My gf sneaked up behind me while I was reading Gene Wolfe and stuck a fedora on my head, which still had the pricetag on it. Otherwise I've never known I someone to reference that.
