I'm tempted to greatly limit my internet usage so I can stop being unconcentrated and actually read more books. Does that make sense, or is it a bad idea? Have you ever went offline for a very extensive amount of time so you could focus more? Pic unrelated

the "screen time" shit is a spook but abstaining enough to get into your groove is helpful. When you develop that reading into a habit then you can go back to browsing a half hour a day or whatever. It is true that the less time you spend reading posts the more potential time you have for reading. just be careful to not put yourself into a habit that has reading be a chore, you will burn out fast.

I'd like to think that going on 4chan is benefiting me intellectually. I know sounds dumb, But I have been exposed to contrary views (for better or worse.) Not only that, I've dropped the pretentiousness of reading, too. I've realized that books are/have been memes for a while, so I just have fun with reading now.

that's a bit naive. you get the range of ideas from here-------to-------here but it isn't quite a spectrum. not to mention the general age range of this board is 19-23.

Infinite Jest and Gravity's Rainbow, to name the two memeist. This isn't just related to 4chan. These two books are used like catchphrases in real life, too. I used to be intimidated by these books, but now I see they are just books separate from their meme status

Sounds like a great idea. I go through phases of varying limited internet usage. Right now I'm wasting too much time on 4chan, and I know it's a form of procrastination so I wont have to work on my essays. When uni finishes for the year I will barely see this place. I think a little exposure to boards like /lit/ is a good thing but it shouldn't encroach on your reading time. Also lovely cats.

Does anyone else have weird internet withdrawal symptoms? It feels unnatural to do anything during the day but go on the internet.

Yeah, I'm naive. But at least anons here aren't as likely to be afraid of saying their thoughts (again, for better or for worse.)

I did, I explored all avenues, they all come back to shitposting on 4chan. This is seriously as good as it gets. Accept it.

Went travelling last summer around Europe. I was doing a bit of volunteering as well, so I had my mind busy most times and no internet. It was great, meeting new people, hiking, working, developing new thoughts, being out of that stale murkiness that is the internet. Some of my most creative moments came from being away from the internet and just gorging on real life.

Then, summer was over, had to stop travelling and get a job instead, so I ended up back on the internet as well. Such is life...
