There hasn't been anything worth reading since probably Nietzsche. Even that is a stretch.

Why do I feel this is gonna be the next tiresome, overused and underwhelming /lit/ meme (after Land, Moldbug and BAP)? Pardon my jadedness, but the title alone is not a good sign.

As i said, lifes not about what you want, its about what you give. Grow up. Entertainment is for after we all have food to eat and aren't killing each other. Theres work to be done. I'm no saint of course but we should have half baked ideals.

Why do you assume that kind of fiction can only be entertainment and cannot be used for building an ideal? Btw Auerbach was an scholar of roman philology, he did not write only fiction (if you really insist on this being a relevant dichotomy here).

I'd also argue that what you want is part of what you give, even in sacrifice there is always a strong desire being fulfilled, but that's merely an aside comment.
