>sociology
They don't call it that anymore. It's called behavioral psychology now and it's the most relevant scientific pursuit in politics, entertainment and business. Every time you leave the house you encounter decisions made by sociologists, like why a particular advertisement displayed one primary color over another, why a politician used an unusual phrase as opposed to a standard phrase, why you're not angry that the cereal boxes you buy have less cereal in them but cost more than they used to, the reason pop songs sound bad at first but then sound okay, etc. etc. etc.
Choosing to ignore sociology makes you very easily manipulated by the people with money who don't ignore sociology.

Hamsun has a part in Mysteries where he writes that he is tired of Tolstoy's "skidne, sædelige savl", which translates to shitty, self-righteous drool.
I agree with the contention. The Kreutzer Sonata is as morally bankrupt as your average r9k post. His short stories hamfist painfully simple and trite christian themes.
He's still great, no doubt about it, one of the greatest of all time. But he's not flawless.
Also, Shakespeare.
How does God's judgment concerning an individual's salvation go according to the bible? Will I be completely humiliated in front of thousands by the showing of all the porn I watched? Can I avoid this by being a dedicated Christian instead for the rest of my life?

>he thinks he can know what happens when one dies
rookie mistake
God shows up for five minutes to condemn everybody to Hell all at once.

I am feeling like a minority in my own country and feel detached from my own culture due to my western upbringing. However I also know that no other society of a foreign country will truly internalize me into it's culture and see me as a true citizen, and I am already facing racism in this new foreign country to certain degree so I am being torn apart. I feel alienated and forlorn.
Can you recommend me some literary works that focus on this conundrum?
