/lit/ - Literature

we access the Akashic records

Philosophy is their hobby. They may not know much about other things, but /lit/ is the place they come to to talk their hobby.
It's like going to /a/ and wondering how they know so much about anime.

>>10306461
To be quite fucking honest, this board is also for poetry and novels of various types. But retards prefer to read /lit/ top 100 chart books and philosophy to shitpost ad infinitum in every thread with the slightest political content.

>>10306473
Poetry and Philosophy are the greatest mediums. Gets my dick hard just thinking about comparing their form and content. How can narrative prose even compete

>>10306461
That makes perfect sense actually and explains
a. the insecurity & aggressiveness that are so typical in shitposting
b. how that autistic knowledge doesn't translate into any deeper insight

>>10306490
I tend to agree, but I don't like people who only read philosoph. They're usually bad people, in my opinion. I may be wrong.

>>10306445
We know that we don't know.

>>10306499
You're thinking of the phil undergrad who engages the theory with a stemlike attitude and as a result is almost always a faggot. Most people here started with history and literature then got into phil. It's just another aspect of humanities, pure, like poetry but on the other end if that makes sense

>>10306499
You're not wrong. Ironically, attacking philosophy is a thing many philosophers like to do.

>... we say Anaxagoras, Thales, and men like them have philosophic but not practical wisdom, when we see them ignorant of what is to their own advantage, and why we say that they know things that are remarkable, admirable, difficult, and divine, but useless; viz.

- Aristotle on /lit/

>>10306528
>Aristotle
Jokes on him Heraclitus and the Ionians got it right long before Aristotle forever marred philosophical method

talking about brainlet, is it grammatically correct in English to say: "In a House lives a Man" ?

>>10306445
Shitpost on /lit/, /his/ and /sci/ all day everyday, fellow /lit/izen

>>10306445
>How do you guys know so much?
The vast majority of people here are pretentious retards. Philosophy, in particular, seems to attract that particular kind of pseud that likes to talk about everything while having a very surface level understanding of what they're blabbing about.

>>10306561
Of course it's correct. The sentence structure is unusual, but I am of the opinion that English should get freer in the word order. Latin languages don't have those silly rules and sound much better.

>>10306588
thanks for your response my dude

Some people are just very smart OP.

>>10306623
You're welcome my dude

Where did the my dude meme originate from?

>>10306561
I don't know why, but I want to correct it to;
"In a house, lives a Man."

>>10306561
I think it would sound nice if the sentence was: "In a house there lives a Man"

>>10306903
That works better.

>>10306445
only like 10% of the posters here are as smart as you think they are. Another 10-15 are close, and another 10-15 can still be helped. 60-70% of these faggots cant be helped and are utterly useless

>>10306889
It is Wednesday my dudes is the earliest one I can think of, but ironic dudebro culture jokes obviously predate it

>>10306903
>>10307158
Entirely superfluous

>>10306588
Heil Hitler

people pretend to be smart by using big words. college teaches you to use big words. don't go to KKKollege.

>>10306561
It should be "A man lives in a house" unless you're being retarded on purpose.

>>10307218
>60-70% of these faggots cant be helped and are utterly useless
Yep, those age and reading threads are a good reminder that at the end of the day we are still on 4chan.
luv u guys

The clause is grammatically correct (the capitalisation is off though). It places emphasis on the phrase "in a house".

The introductory adverbial clause can be set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma to avoid any momentary confusion that might arise from the word order, especially from the placement of a noun before a verb of which it is not the subject.

I assume this is the bare bones of a sentence you will be fleshing out. If this is the whole sentence then:

The feeling I get reading this board is similar to the one I get after browsing fit (or his) : inadequacy from the constant bullying by insecure sophomoric disciples. I feel that they know shit but can't prove it so my confidence shrinks. Then I continue to browse even though it makes me feel bad

Tbh I'd like to get some utility out if it, i.e. an understanding of human nature. Participation in conceited discussions for the purpose of ego stroking is pretty low on my priority list. Is moral philosophy (psychology) my best bet?

>>10308264
You probably don't even realize how dumb you sound lol

Explain what is wrong with the post without meme arrows

>>10306519
got into lit -> philosphy -> logic -> math
now studying lit and math, and phil in free time
feels good mane

If you're not learning philosophy for the sake of philosophy you'll find it unbelievably boring
Even learning moral philosophy, you'll reach conclusions that normies will strongly disagree with (ie not pulling the lever in the trolley problem)
Also human nature is a shitty meme
