someone make a strawpoll about whether X chapter in Infinite Jest is good/not good so we can all come to a consensus.

>deleting the admission criteria thread
>but only after statistics and quotes were posted
The thread was there for many hours. and as soon as someone posted about the antiwhite nature of ivy league admission procedures it was deleted. I wanted to save the images and it 404'd.
What's wrong with the mods?

Sounds like it belongs on the politics board
sage and report
>>8859435
It wasn't a politics thread, though. It just happens that when a question gets answered it might have a political background. We have many threads on writers here that sometimes also discuss their politics... would that necessitate an immediate deletion as well?
And if the OP itself was considered not /lit/, why did the thread remain for so long in the first place?
You'll just have to moan in one of the half-dozen other identity politics threads that are in the catalog an any given moment.

Sophistry.
Anyone who gets paid to philosophise is literally a sophist. Never trust anyone who gets paid to make up shit, they'll make up shit unnecessarily for the sake of making shit up and keeping their paychecks.
They're like the news. Even if there's nothing happening they still need to come up with new material.

Do any of you have typewriters? Are they still worth having, or do computers completely dominate typewriters at everything? If you saw a fellow /lit/izen with a typewriter, would you call him pretentious?
I'm thinking of getting my English major, aspiring author girlfriend a typewriter for Christmas. Is this a good idea, or a waste of money?
I have a typewriter, but I never write on it. It's kind of a neat decoration or conversation piece, but in terms of actually writing on it? Absolutely not. I wrote about 4 or 5 pages of a story and it's noisy, a pain to format, and just cumbersome.
>>8858940
A typewriter is the worst of both worlds, there's no reason to use one in lieu of a computer or writing by hand and it offers no advantages.
It's a cool decorative piece that you could use here and there to write letters or whatever, but long formwriting is unnecessarily cumbersome
I have a typewriter because for some reason I literally can't write "good" fiction on a pc. I need to feel the words. Might be autistic but nothing but the truth

Pedro Paramo is better and fits the subject better
are books meant to be read in one sitting or multiple
if multiple, across how many sittings
Usually they're not meant to be either. I think if they're plays, which are generally short and are intended to be viewed in a few hours, you would be better off reading it in one sitting. If you want to read a lengthy work you should try to read it across many sittings so as to better absorb information.
Across as many sittings as is convenient.
what if the ideal situation has you actually going back some number of pages on all subsequent sittings
If you can't read it in one sitting then it's either a bad book that can't hold your interest so you should not be wasting your time with it, or you're too retarded for it and should not be frustrating yourself trying to read it.
1. Anyone who thinks Nietzsche is an optimistic, life affirming philosopher is deluded because they think this because they believe that they themselves are ubermensch and capable of achieving the level of self-mastery needed to becoming one
2. Nietzsche's solution to nihilism only applies to a very select few, and yet almost everyone who reads Nietzsche and follows him believes that they are that select few
3. Nietzsche, despite what these deluded "followers" of Nietzsche believe, is a nihilistic, negative philosopher for most of humanity.
4. After growing up and realizing that they are unable to become ubermensch, do not have the strength of will to achieve self mastery, the followers of Nietzsche usually begin to disregard him and think of him as childish, immediately thinking of Nietzsche's philosophy as bad, and his mindset immature, instead of admitting their inability to succeed in it.
5. Almost everyone who goes through a Nietzsche "phase" is a childish deluded narcissist, unable to gain a mature acceptance of their irreversible inferiority, at all stages of their development.
Prove me wrong. (Note: this post is not pro nor anti-Nietzsche)

You're on the right track except for 3. The herd can adopt a new morality that the creators of morality design.
there never has been, and never will be a real life example of the ubermensch
but i thought this was the point?
