@CSandbatch I mostly object to the prose, it’s bad. And what’s he’s talking about has been observed, by me and others (Sam Hyde), mostly in wry asides, which is about all the subject is worth
English
@LitMiddle Have been wondering what your take was
English
Dinergoth is in the line of dimwitted attempts at condensing a vaguely observable phenomenon into a snappy culture lite typology. Overstated and under thought at same time, will be discussed heavily for a week and then never again. See millennial snot, premium mediocre, etc

This struggle rages fruitlessly because who your medieval ancestors were is 110 percent irrelevant regardless of any of the particulars of your life now
Wanderer@wood_eater_
"Your medieval ancestors were based warrior-pilled aristocrats" and "your medieval ancestors worked 18 hours a day and all died before 30" are both locked in an endless struggle to determine who got their brain the most fried up

@LitMiddle It’s a draft that never should have been published. Hot dogshit.

there's a class war, and we lost. it will keep getting worse. don't even think about trying to *make a living* about as an artist, writer, or intellectual in the USA. it will harm your ability to actually do your art, and doing your art is the most important thing.

I genuinely think writers over 40 don’t realize how bad things are for those younger than them. There’s a fundamental disconnect happening here in terms of not only rates but networking, practical knowledge, and things like housing costs and debt. Two ships passing in the night.

@giordkat I too find increasing time spent here inversely correlated with artistic motivation
English
reporting live from the field that being back on here makes me orders of magnitude less interested in writing anything and orders of magnitude more afraid that everything i’ve produced so far is embarrassing and that the “era” where it could be embraced by other people is over

Are there great novelists anymore? I don’t intend to find out, seems unlikely
English
@TheEsteemedFox It truly baffles me how dull it for how much the subject and form appeal to me. Melancholy is my temperament, damnit!
English
By all rights I should love this. I generally appreciate big books of sprawling miscellany and musical prose. But I find this one pretty boring

The best nonfiction ("nonfiction") book ever

I enjoy thinking, and I often turn my thoughts into art

Remember: Introspection is a trap! You have no particular “interior” or anything, you are just how you are to the world. Obsessing over your inner life is just narcissism. There’s no “there” there. You are what you do. That’s all you are.

My debut collection of stories SLEEP CAPRICORN was released nearly 6-months ago. Already it feels regressive. As adults, we must learn to put away childish things. As artists, we are required to burn them ceremoniously for all to see.

I can admit that a little institutional support and extra free time could be useful if you’re doing heavy historical research/archival work. But creative writing? Give me a break
English
You have to purge this idea of a prestigious creative writing program from your soul. There is no prestige, there is no real privilege to having access to this sort of thing, and most likely your writing wouldn’t even benefit from a couple of years of fucking around for free
English
The whole framing of family formation these days is totally fake and soulless and fear based. “You don’t want to be an old loser do you?” Who cares, how many people who reproduce still end up estranged, broken
English
The promotion of having kids because otherwise you’ll die alone is so vain and fatuous. You should have kids because you love your partner so much you want your union to endure in a new life.
Families disintegrate all the time, people end up in nursing homes, no funerals, etc
