But heah I agree /fit/ enjoyed the merge more than /lit/.

>and think you're some kind of individual
reading is not about reading a couple of the go to books and then pretend like you did what it takes to be better educated but you actually read diverse and complex work so you actually become more understanding. Not to just pretend.

I'd say that /lit/ and /fit/ are more similar than one realizes
>both are loosely about self-improvement
>both invent hierarchies of prestige (manlet lmao etc)
>both have conflicting schools of thought within their communities
the only large difference is that /fit/'s style of self improvement is tangible, while /lit/'s isn't (other than posting books lel)

At heart, I think a great deal of /lit/ wishes to teach. In the circlejerk of one-upsmanship, that becomes impossible, however. There is no kairos.

With the infusion of /fit/, /lit/ briefly became a kairotic space. Ideas were exchanged between eager, charged participants.

Frankly, I don't think there's any particular synergy between /fit/ and /lit/ -- it could have worked with just about any board that isn't a total cesspool. Heck, maybe even mlp would have sparked some good discussion, and the rest of 4chin would be making even more fun of us.

MAybe it just seemed like that because /fit/ is the more active board.
