What is the point of a blank sheet of paper?
Do of it as you please.
Why does this simple truth trouble so many of you?

A lot of that is just “Apollonian”
But “material/non-material” what the fuck cop out?
Light and cool versus dark and warm?
Symmetrical versus ... not asymmetrical?

Aside from this list, I’m interested. What book should I DL to introduce the topic?

He can dislike it if he wants, I dislike it, but neither of us have read it, so I think we can’t judge it quite fairly. (Why I don’t lay into Infinite Jest). He is only criticizing the concept of fiction here though. He thinks Atwood is a liar. He’s clearly afraid that people are reading this book at all. Not unlike my dismay that people are still reading so-called holy books. I’ve read one of those. Those are mostly fictional books too. But their fan base don’t realize this, so I think my fears are a little more justified.
Your thoughts?
