Anarcho-primitivism is swell and all until I realise I need medicine [that I cannot make myself] to live.

I'm sorry I just don't like surrealism.

Surrealism is the easy road in literature. Writers who cannot create a plausible story to entertain their audience resort to ridiculous fantasy and surreal plots.

Movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and 2001 A Space Odyssey are what I am talking about. These movies bear little semblance to reality. One questions whether or not the person who wrote them was on some sort of psychedelic drug.

I prefer clean sober movies such as The Good The Bad and The Ugly, Forest Gump, or Lord of the Rings if I want fantasy.

Maybe this is because I'm an atheist and I don't buy into these pseudo-realities. I want my literary matter to be firmly grounded in plausible reality or shot deep down into the rabbit hole where there is a clear distinction in what is real and what is not.
