Human Brain EnthusiastHonestly, read or watch whatever you want, just dont give people or companies money who use it for hate criming.
However I reserve the right to call you names if you read shit like Ayn Rand or racist drivel from she who must not be named.
Fabian Transchel@thomasfuchs I am here to disagree with you.
Read Atlas. Read Mein Kampf.
We must know what it looks like.
HP on the other hand is no loss 🤷♂️
Aaron Sawdey, Ph.D.@ftranschel @thomasfuchs Actually being forced to read Ayn Rand is probably a form of psychological torture banned by the Geneva Convention. I picked up a copy of The Fountainhead as a teenager and read it (you find the damnest things on the shelves when your parents are both English Ph.D.s 😂) ... by the end I'm slogging along thinking these characters are the least believable ...
Emelia/Emi@acsawdey @ftranschel @thomasfuchs Can confirm. Was forced to read Atlas in college. It was bad. It can be summed up as similar to "Almost everything Marx said about communism was wrong in practice. Unfortunately everything he said about capitalism was right." In that while they did make a few very good points, the actual "logic" surrounding them was way out of whack.
(Not to mention it repeatedly descends into the same rant-ish block every chapter or two, IIRC. Made it quite difficult to actually read)
@becomethewaifu @ftranschel @thomasfuchs The rants, yeah ... the characters are all just sock-puppets I realized.
