Chesterton says science fiction is an inherently cowardly endeavor; men flee from the greatness of the past into a future where they can imagine themselves without concrete competition
I guess that and being fat are his two faults then
science fiction and fantasy are the same
in both, you can get cowardice and you can get "true fantasy"
yeah he would acknowledge that he's just a pithy aphoristic wit writer
more than a genuinely analytical type
@UOC that sounds like a complete misrepresentation of the genre
he doesn't care about the genre he's just taking on facet of it and using it to hang a point about modernoty
I actually think aphorism is superior
me too
I was just saying, I'm sure Chesterton is great
I tried to go down this rabbit hole but dead end
all I determined for sure was
crop circles are not hoaxes
what do you guys think of Milo
gay self promoter, such figures tend to be necessary but expendable
use them and lose them should be the rule
goes for Cernovich too
and others
doesn't matter
alt-right isn't racist
i thought Altright didnt like jews or blacks and stuff
Milo and the alt right have a mutually beneficial relationship without being necessarily all alogned
it's an umbrella, so you get legit white supremacists
but even the nazi types
they aren't really racists
they are white identity politics
the only thing alt-right is universally anti- is leftism
anyway I thought that was going to be a music question
fallot tell me how it is metaphysically
I thought you were going more into why they all tend to sound similar
something like an evolution (by stripping away) towards some platonic ur-symbol language of music
or closer and closer to such an ideal
"direct" musical communication
they all rely on effectiveness of basic melody
that melodic quality IS music
and when you make minimal music, that has to be right at the top
otherwise your music will fail
that's what I was going to suggest
