Is there anything more mentally intimate than the melding of minds that happens when two people work on the same book?

Why has this board become such shit? I feel like the overall quality of threads and posts has declined steeply. Some of the stupid things I see on here seem like they should be on /v/, not /lit/.

What can be done to combat this?

Pretty much this.
Poetry is able to be wicked plebby but it's poetry, who gives a shit. I'm a published poet and I write my poems based on rhythm and phonetics. I've had people tell me how deep it is and I have a hard time not laughing in their faces.

I disagree somewhat. You "get" it for yourself. I am very critical of people who act like they've objectively interpreted a poem, or people who try to interpret it with references to the author's life and work, but I also disagree with >>8474908, it is not up to you to decide whether someone else's reading is "deep" or not, tbqh.

That all of culture is a mass coverup of individual mortality. We repress ourselves in the face of the immensity of existence so that we can cope with our finitude.
I don't see how it's right-wing at all really. There isn't much about it that's overtly political.

I've never been able to enjoy fiction because of my inability to visualize what I read. I see very vague flashes of images but I'm not seeing anything like a "mental movie." What are the best books/authors that don't rely much on visual description?
