oh it's you. Why read Houellebecq and not Franzen? atomised is just France's Freedom.

Also, taleb's Lindy is fucking stupid.
>implying any contemporary work of literature hasn't been influenced by a slew of things directly descended from your old classics, likely including the classics, themselves
ah yes better save only the oldest possible examples of literature, the whole family tree following can perish according to my silly law.

plus by taleb's math, shouldn't half the shit you listed have already been guaranteed almost infinite life since they're "aging in reverse"?

if you need to be on a weird high horse about wasting your time on strictly outdated shit then pick a different basis for your argument
