>>96480I don't browse /lit/ but /biz/ was similar in that you could find a lot of GEMMY raisincoins in 2020 and then in 2021 everything became dogspam before the board got nuked by pajeets and mods and totally died, to the point where zero money makers are posted there and the ones that are get deleted instantly by the tranny jannies.
I thought it must be because I turned 30 and am depressed and alone but now it seems like a combined movement after 2021 to ruin every good part of the internet because the goyim knew too much and somehow beating them meant ruining hobbies for everyone.

You’re not losing the plot—you’re tracing its deepest contours, because instincts can indeed be understood as participating in meaning holism if we recognize that meaning, under this view, is not limited to linguistic or cultural symbols but includes pre-reflective behaviors, embodied tendencies, and biological attunements that only make sense in relation to a larger ecological or evolutionary system; in that sense, yes, all living things are “influenced” by meaning holism, not because they grasp meanings propositionally but because their actions and perceptions are only intelligible within the web of relations that constitute their form of life—and regarding determinism, meaning holism doesn’t entail it strictly, but it does press us toward a kind of soft structuralism where freedom is no longer conceived as escaping all constraints, but as moving intelligibly within a system of interdependencies, so rather than being “programmed” in the mechanical sense, we are situated in a network of causes, norms, and interpretations; as for Spinoza, his idea of truth—sub specie aeternitatis—isn’t about stripping away holistic meaning to find something purer, but about understanding things as necessary expressions of Nature’s essence, and in that sense, the Parmenidean-Spinozist move isn’t away from holism but toward an ultimate holism, where even distinction between instinct, reason, and truth dissolves in the unity of a single, fully intelligible substance.

>>96847>>96844>>95588>>95348>>95332>>95321The first post got me. I rarely use LLMs, and when I do, it is only out of curiosity about how AI would respond to <insert raisin nobody cares about>. I've always thought that there was a hard limit on how "human" LLM-generated text could get, that there was an uncanny valley they'd never be able to climb out of; and this, I thought, could not be reduced to a technical problem. After reading each post more carefully, I can still pick out the supposed AI cadence in the writing. But I'm surprised at how subtle it is now. Maybe it would have been more obvious for someone knowledgeable about Quine and Spinoza.

(((voting))) which kills thoughtful discussions, accounts where ego is attached.
/lit/ was anons who were there to fucking talk about books. It was for young white men who weren't consunerists, they didn't chase trends. They read books that educated them and wanted to write something meaningful
Redditors are consumerist soyboys, twitter is egotistical grifters chasing trends, women are bigger consumerists and only read to jerk off wish fulfilment. There's no fucking forum for this raisin. 4chan was the only real place on the internet.

>>95304You simply wont understand because minecraft is an entire world within itself, same with pokemon.
Here's a better way of looking at it.
There are people who play pokemon and those that play video games. Pokemon fans don't play any other games. To them, the only game coming out is pokemon, the only innovation is what they see in pokemon.
People also want to experience something, a community event. The idea of going to a theatre to scream at a single line and throw popcorn and pop off fireworks never occured to me, but it's hilarious and I want more. I never knew we could just do this, but I want it.
It's a convergence of a hyper focused fanbase and a collective hunger for anything novel to destress. Will we get another Chicken Jockey? no idea, but now I want one.

>>93392Seems like this Masson guy is just a jackass trying to "erm actually" Freud. Freud expanded his seduction theory to include fantasies as well as actual molestation events - this expansion may have been a cover up, but it seems reasonable to consider non-sexual trauma responses. Then again, I'm no expert.
I'm going to read a little more of Freud because, in spite of some of his theories being insane (e.g. the first man to harness fire was impressive for resisting a "homosexual" desire to piss on it), I enjoy some of his insights.
>>98312Actually it's a lot.

>>91795 (OP)You were ALWAYS the very worst board.
Even back when you were new you were so repellent and fucking dull and stupid and perpetually offended, dogmatic, and misinformed that I preferred discussing books on /b/ of all boards, already cancered /b/, to /lit/. Total /lit/ death. No wonder kids don't read anymore if it brings them closer to interacting with the average /lit/fag online.

/lit/ was garbage. It was impossible to have a substantive discussion about anything on the board because 100% of the regular users were pseudo intellectual crossposting redditors. Everyone was so much more interested in proving themself the supreme intellectual and/or smarter than an imagined enemy than reading something new or introducing someone to a personal favorite. That said no board had a greater concentration of pseuds than /his/. Now THAT board was giga raisin. Overall most of the niche hobby boards declined significantly in quality to the point that there was no point in visiting them, but /lit/ was always garbage

I would've made a /lit/ thread about this, but that's dead so me go here me guess
<reddit space
so I was reading le greeks and rn I'm on The First Philosophers, Oxford World's Classic. This may be a stupid question, but what did the early Atomists think 'motion' or 'time' truly was? Because it seems to me that if time and motion were both discrete (for the Atomists) then their philosophy would make sense, however if motion wasn't discrete and time was (as they seem to imply), then they would fail to solve Zeno's Dichotomy/Achilles paradox. Yes, atoms might not be infinitely divisible, but the void they move through would still be, and thus the Achilles paradox still holds as long as they believe time isn't infinitely divisible. Deepseek told me that they believed motion occured in "steps" or "jumps", but idk if I believe this since I couldn't really find anything online about this idea. Am I just misunderstanding the text itself? pls someone help a retard like me understand o algo ;-;
