Obviously one of these two, in the latter of course its not a singularity but it is an ideal world none the less and perhaps can strain its course to an ideal singularity better than any other group. The prior Miyazaki one is the best chance for the traditional Heideggerian experience of the soul of the world to return. But of course this doesn't get much past what we have now and is itself in an impossible state to any singularity.

Who knows if good literature, or art in general would come out of either. My guess would be that if there was a greater unifying religious force for either there would be a return of the flourishing of the arts, but the authoritarianism might constrain too harshly the free creative emergence as Longinus himself states in the "On the Sublime".

Either way, I would given anything to live in either if this world wasn't real. Would you be absolved by God into heaven-- or whatever it stands for, right now if you were given the choice? If you have no bound-duty in this world of suffering any longer. I just want to be a sailor struggling on the harsh waves.

I started buying the Poetry Handbook and a collection of Poems by one of the Greats/reading some of Shakespeare's Sonnets. It would usually come about randomly in the creative moment and through effort I became better and directed these moments into something more worthwhile than personally. But I never would of really "got it" if I hadn't started getting into philosophy and the arts as well. Poetry is a much more sentimental thing, it is best for the old but you must start young. And you must judge it objectively as you would another, as with any art form, take between its beauty, as its core, and a given necessity and you will be fine.

But you'll never be great without the in-born creative fire. But this in turn can never be made its full thing if you are not ever opposing oneself in his movement through this world. Just as Mishima said art can only be made by the maintaining of opposites in ones mind, within the unconscious in deep respect to that, but it cannot be a mere psychological thing, but of course the experience itself for something.

You either will/or wont be a Yeats from birth, but you can write good poems either way, as say a philosopher may. Oh, and definitely read Pounds ABC of Reading.
