When did you realize elitism is necessary when talking about literature?

Necessary to what?

>> No.9398540

elitism is kinda necessary everywhere when discussing seriously something. Discussions when the knowledge levels are too different is always unproductive. That's what schools, books and teachers exist to correct this knowledge gap. And hence why 4chan is a failure at discussion

Everything is a failure at discussion when you're not doing it face to face.

4chan is one of the last places left where you can have an honest discussion.
Honest discussion is alot more useful than "informative discussion", books and teachers are for learning from not internet forums or starbucks.

I don't think you ever had a proper discussion, this thing right here when it isn't pure shit-slinging is at best a one sided monologue.

Lazy relativism is truly the bane of human art and culture.

These people just don't want to improve themselves so they declare improvement itself impossible.

Are you retarded? The criticism in that anon's post is quite straightforward. Solution he seems to proposing quite clear: throw away moral relativism, believe in absolute values and attain them.

What an odd thread. Some want help, others recommendations, some as much discussion as a board such as this one allows. If youre looking for an intelligent discussion here, make an intelligent query. Chances are you'll attract just what youre looking for; or, if not, exactly what u deserve.
