I'm sure that was true in 1822 but in 2022 I doubt it, at least in regards to pop-culture writers like King and Patterson.

You'd think he isn't. He seems to downplay the fact that he is smart in the media today if you look at his more recent interviews on Youtube. He is a popular fiction writer, and I assume that he wants his audience to be able to connect with him.
I'm reading Danse Macabre, a book about modern horror from the 1950's to the 1980's and it shows that he is perfectly capable of analyzing texts. Furthermore, he always likes to belittle professors of English/American literature, because he says he doesn't want to be too cold and analytical when analyzing stories, which really educated folk can be.

not him, but refusing to play a game is a valid choice, when it is. There are no absolutes in human nature or politics. Refusing to play a game is silly, when it is. Authors with notoriety must necessarily advertise to their audience in order to maintain their income.
Refusing to play a game is the privilege of obscurity. I'll cherish it as long as I can, until I can't.

Anon the results came back, you tested positive for brainwashing. We'll have to do further tests to see the extent of the damage but I'm recommending you immediately cease all advertising and mainstream media consumption, and I'm also recommending you read Zeihan's Absent Superpower and Disunited Nations to put this minor conflict in perspective. It'll take time to heal the damage but the first step is to stop consuming propaganda.
