Leftists in general lack some of the core values that right-wingers hold, while right-wing individuals on the other hand possess all the ones the left has as well. This leads to a consistent trend of leftists not being able to understand those on the right, as the majority lack both the intellect and experience to understand their opposition. Rightists in turn do not need to be especially intelligent to understand the left, as they can simply mirror their own experiences and values onto them, understanding their motivations quite clearly.

I'm the boulder. I force people to support me. I drag people down with me. I serve no purpose. I am emotionally stunted. I am overweight.

Have you noticed that literature is really just an autistic sub-category of communication in general? Especially when compared to oral communication.

Literature is to oral communication what keepy uppies are to actual football (soccer). Definitely requiring extreme talent and precision but also high levels of autism. You can try the first in the latter but even an extremely high level practitioner could only barely get away with it. In 99.99 % of cases it only leads to completely justified exasperation and ridicule.

Are delillo's less famous books good or bad? I saw two of his books at the library, one about the search for Nazi a porn and another some sort of murder mystery. I liked libra when I read it long ago. I liked white noise the first time I read it.

I get the feeling that he is one of those really fucking boring authors who you have to pretend says profound stuff.

Does anyone else see lit still unrecovered from the creation of his? The illusion of literature as encompassing all of what could be considered "intellectualism" has gone. We have yet to come to terms with literature as "merely" a form of entertainment.
