no one here talks about the books though. anyway the primary purpose of this board is to talk about novela, poetry, short stories, plays, etc. move to /his/ or make a /phil/ board or something no one here talks about literature.

[Anonymous No.12296875]

I agree

[Anonymous No.12296902]

>>12296860
Because the point of most relevant nonfiction books are to convey a philosophical, political and/or religious point

Isn't that what pretty much everything boils down to, just in a more aestheticized form? Maybe throw in sex in there to

[Anonymous No.12297471]

The politically possessed are little more than mindless automatons spreading the word of their gods. It's like that fungus which infects ants and controls their movements by hijacking their senses and desires, forcing them to climb to a high spot before the fungus bursts out of their heads and scatters it's spores onto as large an area as possible. Ideology does the same thing, burying deep into to person's mind and fundamentally altering the frames upon which they see the world. Then, like the poor ant, they move to a particular hobby or interest and the political ideology within them bursts out, infesting their interpretation and comments on everything. Little can be done about it, as not even they are in control.

>>12297713
make a literature thread and you may get 5 replies at most.
make a "philosophy" (aka political or religious bait thread) thread and watch it hit the bump limit.

[Anonymous No.12297738]

>>12297695
There's maybe 10 threads about philosophy tops in the whole catalog. A couple of those are shitposts that would not be there if we had actual moderation, and some of them are veering into theology. I don't think that the problem of this board is that it's being flooded by philosophy threads that don't allow space for literature discussion, rather that the average post is really low quality.

If we're talking about thinly veiled political threads then yeah they don't belong to /lit/, but they already have their own containment boards.

[Anonymous No.12297762]

>>12296835
Honestly I feel like a board exclusively about literature is too small. I think it is better if it's just the corner of 4chan where the average IQ is at least 2 points higher, desu.

Religion and philosophy is accepted de facto, but I'd like to see it materialized de jure.

[Anonymous No.12297884]

>>12297762
I'd like a board that reads enough to know why Stanford would have a problem with current IQ test results, and that you don't like books. Book reading is the watershed that keeps this place from being 99% gullible pseuds. We only need about 70% to keep sales of IJ up. You are surplus to requirements.

[Anonymous No.12298214]

>>12297884
Talking about philosophy and theology implies reading. Or at least in big dick board /lit/ (as it's *supposed* to be), but the amount of retards that don't read and yet come here everyday is mesmerizing.

Politics, religion, and philosophy were discussed on /lit/ before you came here, why should they cease being discussed just because of you?
>>12296860
The anons of /lit/ decide what the primary purposes of /lit/ are, and they want to discuss the above topics.

what's there to say about a book? either you liked it or not, that's it

[Anonymous No.12299235]

>>12299233
Discuss plot, characters, themes, writing etc.
Other boards focused on fictional stories manage to have threads filled with discussion on fiction so I don't see why /lit/ can't maintain discussion of fictional stories.

[Anonymous No.12299242]

For real.
/his/ is absolutely awful for philosophy discussion. Only /sp/ is worse for that.

Do you want to get reported for the philosophical argument you didn't know Shelley was making?

[Anonymous No.12299832]

>>12297592
This would be the absolute worst thing to happen. A huge part of what make /lit/ such a good philosophy board is that the /lit/ label filters out people who aren't willing to read shit, and so there's a much higher proportion of actually educated discussion on issues. A /phil/ would just advertise itself to every kind of idiot who thinks they can philosophize.

[Anonymous No.12299838]

the philosophy might even be ok if it weren't all just fascist "philosophy"
