/lit/ - Literature

I've also come to this conclusion.

Nothing has real value.

All life is is just killing time

>tfw life is just entertainment and has no real value

>>5040902

>that feel

leave me alone pigeon. I want to wallow in my meaninglessness

>>5040909
Doesn't have to be a bad thing. You're free to do whatever you want.

>>5040920
⇒implying free will exists

>>5040920
>implying freedom = happiness

>>5040952
It does for me.

>>5040952
Freedom? Where are the burgers?

>>5040938
Will you ever just stop posting?

>>5040960
Ohoho there are no burgers where we're going child

>>5040938
Its the only logical conclusion.

>>5040897
>literature [in any form] is people desperately trying to covey their consciousness, to varying degrees of effect.
But, it's cool you find it entertaining.

>>5040897
>real value

Did you fail your math class?

>inb4 "yes"

>>5041084
It thinks it's clever because it forced "spooks" as a le epic meme after getting butthurt on the politics board because stirner is the most appealing philosophers for annoying delusional people or something. Just ignore the retarded tranny.

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." - Bert Rand

>>5040897
better books than reality shows

>>5041107

Wait, Feminister is a tranny and not a real gril?

Ok, this makes much more sense now.

>tfw literature is what the reader makes of it

you have no value op

>>5041120
But that was said by a man who had a job and a source of income and didn't live with is parents until 40, which is the opposite of /lit/ards

>>5040897
>tfw music is just entertainment and has no real value
>tfw movies is just entertainment and has no real value
>tfw sports is just entertainment and has no real
>tfw sex is just entertainment and has no real

yeah, religion is the serious stuff

don't make literature your religion

>>5041136
I knew all along we didn't actually have grills here...

>>5041300
shall i make science my religion?

>>5040897
Literature can be sharing the consciousness of another existence. I can't possibly see that as "just entertainment."

But I'm not sure if anything has "real value" anyway, so I'm shrugging.

>>5041303
depends on your hatwear

>>5040897
try stoicism

>>5040897
What has value to you? The only people who would say something like this are nihilists who didn't believe in value in the first place.

>>5041280
It was also said by a man who wrote "In Praise of Idleness". Although neither of those things changes the verity of the statement itself.

>>5041384
Actually, nihilists don't tend to be silly enough to believe there is some standard by which a life can be wasted or well spent.

>>5040938
who cares

>>5041120
i swear john lennon said this

the humanists started the myth that wisdom could be found in art
truth is art is mostly about pleasing people and a lot of that comes down to vanity

so yeah, you got duped

>Tfw literature as in books is antiquated

>>5040897
>implying you wouldn't have wasted it anyway you massive piece of shit

>>5041120
But Russell was a filthy logical positivist dog.

>>5041419
probably because of tumblr

>>5041469
i'm not a fan either since he can't into nietzsche, but regarding idleness he was spot on.

> dat feel

>>5040897
>real value
how do you define real value?

>entertainment has no real value

[citation needed]

>real value

Nice No True Scotsman.

mfw

>literature is not just entertainment and has real value.

>>5041280
cool projection

bump

>>5040897
>implying ephemeral pleasures are not the point of life

>>5040952
>implying happiness is something to strive for

>>5041599
but you have no face

>>5041420
>humanists started aestheticism
What? Unless your definition of "humanist" is fucking huge, and includes the likes of Flaubert or early Nietzsche

>>5042067
but he has a feel

>>5041494
>>5041469
>being this retarded
holy shit pls don't talk about russell you plebs

Yes, you haven't built anything or helped anyone.

Normal people realize this in elementary school.

>>5042283
are you denying that rustle can't into nietzsche?

>>5040897
lol

>>5040897
>Implying anything has a value.

"having value" is clumsy. you should rather say "is valued".

A few weeks ago I was bored in an economy lecture when the fat old professor paused his endless discourse about resource management and said: "remember what all this is for, we're all here to be happy, and being happy is not being afraid".

I've been stuck on this ever since. I think it might be true for me.

Fear is not the only problem people face.
