>>9346813

that's not me, but it doesn't matter. their tactics have been to just use my name and post like me.

whatever, as i said, i'm done. they have won. whether that makes them right--i am not sure. i don't quite understand any of it, but so be it.

goodbye, /lit!

>>9346791
>>9346792

fuck it. war of attrition and you've won. i'm too tired to pursue any of this further.

i'll post again in another 3 years or so.

i apologize to anyone who wanted more. i am unwilling to participate in such inhuman contexts.

it's been real, gentlemen.

Why are the mods on this board so fucking useless? Do they just sleep?

I'm tired of dealing with rotten human beings. I am truly happy to share what I have- but here's the new condition: I'll post everything everyone wants as soon as these assholes are banned from my thread.

>>9343816

i got you. tired, gonna finish for tonight, but it's added to the list.

>>9343831

yeah, you're paranoid. stop.

as tiem goes on, note how ishmael becomes less and less a figure entirely: he begins to merge with nature, becoming more of the backdrop than the foreground, fading and dissolving in the solvent of all that is.
compare this to ahab, whose intensity only increases as the novel goes on--the focus shifts almost entirely to his obsession, his desire to dominate nature.

and so the two great forces are defined and set in opposition to one another. which one are you?

i have begun to scan in some of the material people have requested. in order to ensure fairness and timeliness, i will be scanning in chunks of the material in rounds.

i will be using dropbox as my filesharing platform.

legal disclaimer: i intend to share this material under US fair use doctrine. i have purchased these books with personal finances and have scanned them in with personal labor. in no way, shape, or form do i intend any/all of this material to be used for commercial purposes; i do not desire any economic return, and reject entirely any economic benefit. i share this knowledge freely and openly for the purposes of criticism, commentary, and satire in a self-titled academic/literary context. i hope only to generate conversation and participate in the explicit purpose of 4chan's /lit board: to share ideas and literature in a community of like-minded intellectuals committed to exploring aspects of history, philosophy, and theory. i do not endorse any use of this material beyond purely intellectual self-improvement/academic conversation.

first file is the first chapter of Czeslaw Milosz's "The Captive Mind" (New York, NY: Vintage Books, 1990):
