What does it tell us that the greatest living philosopher is a 4chan shitposter? Is the influence of this website sometimes understated?
4chan is the only social site worth being a part of.

I'd actually have to agree with this, the only exception being obscure forums related to specific interests.
pseudo intellectual buzzwords that amount to a formula of "exclude others" + "the past was better"
no thanks.

Wow, you really don't understand Land at all.
/pol/ has Molyneux.
/lit/ has Land.
You see the difference.

what's not to understand? It's horseshit.
Chances are Land doesn't actually post on 4chan all that much unless he's dedicated enough to buy a pass seeing as that's the only way to post from China.

this anon knows what's up

>>Uses BS phrases like "neo-puritanism" and "the cathedral"
Why is he supposed to make up words when these are already established terms for what he's describing?
>>Saying that media, academia, etc are a bunch of meanies keeping him down because they encourage knowledge, respect, and comprehending the past
>>Arguing for a "nu" revival of puritanical morality to supplant this
When did he do this?
>>Using words that amount to some basement dwelling internet nut's model kit version of postmodernism
This sentence is just word salad.

Ignoring all the rest of your post, yes, the influence of this site is usually underestimated by its own users.

What influence? 4Chan is irrelevant to anyone who doesnt use it. The last thing anon did was dox the steubenville rapists so tumblr could harass them
>>8211080
We need to go deeper.
>>8211080
It might not be important to those who don't use it, but those who do use it might not be unimportant to those who don't.

In the same way that people who inject heroin are important to people who are not self destructive drug addicts, yes.
