Parts of a plot of a random story are irrelevant. Even then, the literature isn't really the plot alone, much less components of it.
Academic papers (mostly those in STEM) are relevant.

They actually are though.
I am a med engi and use algorithms from academic papers for my imaging software just as many other developers. Many applications started out as ideas based on research described in papers. Many variables in technical applications are based on statistical research derived from, you guessed it, papers.
If you do not know shit you probably should just avoid posting instead of embarassing yourself like that.

No, Kantbot is a pretentious twat who thinks he understands how the world works after reading five books concerning basic philosophy. He can fuck right off after his five minutes of internet ´´fame´´ are finally over.

Is "The Moratorium on Brains" one of the greatest chapters ever written? If you don't remember it's the chapter where the train blows up in the tunnel. The entire chapter is just dazzling, it's one massive cause-and-effect chain, where people keep passing the buck to someone else, and the tension keeps progressively ramping up. It is one of the most extraordinary examples of increasing drama that I've ever seen; we see the moral deliberations of every character in the chain. From the very start, you know what is going to happen, so the entire chapter just has this palpable sense of tragedy.

it has rather more gun fetishism than most of his work. first chapter is basically the protagonist jerking off with some of his relatives at the firing range.
So, I've got to ask? Just what exactly is a "grandbastard"?

Don't get the reference...is that like an illegitimate grandson?

It's from Game of Thrones, the book; I asked because I wasn't clear about it either.
The paragraph it comes from reads as follows:
>Catelyn knew them all: The Blackwoods and the Brackens, ever enemies, whose quarrels her father was obliged to settle; Lady Whent, last of her line, who dwelt with her ghosts in the cavernous vaults of Harrenhal; irascible Lord Frey, who had outlived seven wives and filled his twin castles with children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and bastards and grandbastards as well.

Ah, didn't remember seeing that term in the series. That is indeed what it means. Frey has a million offspring.

Was he really supportive of the military dictatorship in Brazil? And how much of an influence did his work (hit jobs on opponents) have in postponing democracy in that south american country, if any?
