Have you noticed the increased level of demoralisation and decadence on /lit/ since /his/ was created? lit was stripped of its pseudo intellectual / worldly innards and is coming to terms with the fact that literature is merely part of the entertainment industry. Except poetry, which has become newly pure through sheer irrelevance.

That's because true "intellectuals" study history, philosophy, economics etc.

Fiction is pseud central

i've noticed no difference whatsoever and still have to wade through endless 'philosophical' threads to find people discussing literature.

I've never made the mistake of taking this place seriously.

It's a fucking imageboard - if I wanted to talk to people who's opinions, thoughts and work was worth a damn I'd do so face to face.

There's no such thing as credibility in a culture of anonymity.

Sounds like a profound waste of time; anybody can say anything.

Nobody's ideas are truly their own - we have the internet - we can appear, with a little work and nouse to be whatever we wish to appear to be.

No; if you want to really talk to a person, and know what they think and why, and whether it is worth aught, then you need the fleshy article itself.
