@Solo_Knight I don't think so, but it's subjective. One man's justified killing in self-defense is another man's cold blooded murder.

@mutageno Yes, but thought experiments don't have to be full length novels.

The mass market isn't really open to challenging philosophies even if packed into a digestible story even if it spells everything out.

It's fine. I just stopped watching TV, playing videogames, and reading novels years ago, and it's been great. You don't need to tiptoe around issues cloaked in fictional narratives.

I get why they're popular and beloved though, it just doesn't appeal to me.

@mutageno I don't know how to say this without coming off like an asshole, but men shouldn't need fictional stories to grasp abstract concepts.

Women and children often need stories to "teach" them about morals and philosophical concepts because their brains can't grasp the abstract without something "real" to ground it for for them.

Note that Ayn Rand wrote a bunch of fiction books to demonstrate her philosophy. This is not a coincidence.

@mutageno Thank you. I need to remember the term next time because it's a fantastic example of the media pushing narrative over profits even all the way back in the 60s and 70s.

I've shilled his series before, but this was an especially good chapter in the "Awakening to the Meaning Crisis" series by John Vervaeke.

@basedbagel I recommend going to college online and in the evenings for a fraction of the price and getting a job during the day and getting some experience in your chosen industry instead of chasing college pussy and having gay dudes hit on you.

@basedbagel There aren't even that many gay people in the country, so you are likely going to gay hangouts in the first place if you're getting hit on my men.

If you're into penis, go enjoy some penis. Cherish the man ass. Just watch out for AIDS, tapeworms, and monkeypox.
