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

2017-08-13 00:23:23 UTC  

I guess that and being fat are his two faults then

2017-08-13 00:23:44 UTC  

science fiction and fantasy are the same

2017-08-13 00:23:54 UTC  

in both, you can get cowardice and you can get "true fantasy"

2017-08-13 00:26:15 UTC  

yeah he would acknowledge that he's just a pithy aphoristic wit writer

2017-08-13 00:26:23 UTC  

more than a genuinely analytical type

2017-08-13 00:26:32 UTC  

@UOC that sounds like a complete misrepresentation of the genre

2017-08-13 00:28:13 UTC  

he doesn't care about the genre he's just taking on facet of it and using it to hang a point about modernoty

2017-08-13 00:28:19 UTC  

I actually think aphorism is superior

2017-08-13 00:28:27 UTC  

me too

2017-08-13 00:28:28 UTC  

I was just saying, I'm sure Chesterton is great

2017-08-13 00:28:47 UTC  

I tried to go down this rabbit hole but dead end

2017-08-13 00:29:00 UTC  

all I determined for sure was

2017-08-13 00:29:03 UTC  

crop circles are not hoaxes

2017-08-13 00:29:10 UTC  

what do you guys think of Milo

2017-08-13 00:29:26 UTC  

gay self promoter, such figures tend to be necessary but expendable

2017-08-13 00:29:41 UTC  

use them and lose them should be the rule

2017-08-13 00:29:44 UTC  

goes for Cernovich too

2017-08-13 00:29:46 UTC  

and others

2017-08-13 00:29:49 UTC  

isnt he jewish tho

2017-08-13 00:29:54 UTC  

doesn't matter

2017-08-13 00:30:05 UTC  

alt-right isn't racist

2017-08-13 00:30:16 UTC  

i thought Altright didnt like jews or blacks and stuff

2017-08-13 00:30:28 UTC  

Milo and the alt right have a mutually beneficial relationship without being necessarily all alogned

2017-08-13 00:30:30 UTC  

it's an umbrella, so you get legit white supremacists

2017-08-13 00:30:34 UTC  

but even the nazi types

2017-08-13 00:30:38 UTC  

they aren't really racists

2017-08-13 00:30:43 UTC  

they are white identity politics

2017-08-13 00:34:18 UTC  

the only thing alt-right is universally anti- is leftism

2017-08-13 00:34:30 UTC  

anyway I thought that was going to be a music question

2017-08-13 00:34:40 UTC  

fallot tell me how it is metaphysically

2017-08-13 00:34:55 UTC  

I thought you were going more into why they all tend to sound similar

2017-08-13 00:35:17 UTC  

something like an evolution (by stripping away) towards some platonic ur-symbol language of music

2017-08-13 00:35:25 UTC  

or closer and closer to such an ideal

2017-08-13 00:35:30 UTC  

"direct" musical communication

2017-08-13 00:35:54 UTC  

they all rely on effectiveness of basic melody

2017-08-13 00:35:59 UTC  

that melodic quality IS music

2017-08-13 00:36:07 UTC  

and when you make minimal music, that has to be right at the top

2017-08-13 00:36:13 UTC  

otherwise your music will fail

2017-08-13 00:36:25 UTC  

that's what I was going to suggest
