Do you judge books by the cover?

Well, I don't judge a book by its cover, but it is natural to prefer a book with an aesthetic pleasant cover. Like when being in a library and I see a book with an attractive spine, I will be automatically called to pick it up to check the cover, and if the cover is attractive, I will be interested in learning about it.

Literally or figuratively? Either way, yes. Some heuristic is necessary.

In his Rutger's talk, he attributes an Evola quote to Michelle Obama. But I think someone else wrote that for him. I think he's trying, he said he was reading Schopenhour in one of his videos a few months ago

>That’s what’s happened to Science Fiction & Fantasy literature. A few decades ago, if you saw a lovely spaceship on a book cover, with a gorgeous planet in the background, you could be pretty sure you were going to get a rousing space adventure featuring starships and distant, amazing worlds. If you saw a barbarian swinging an axe? You were going to get a rousing fantasy epic with broad-chested heroes who slay monsters, and run off with beautiful women. Battle-armored interstellar jump troops shooting up alien invaders? Yup. A gritty military SF war story, where the humans defeat the odds and save the Earth. And so on, and so forth.

>These days, you can’t be sure.

>The book has a spaceship on the cover, but is it really going to be a story about space exploration and pioneering derring-do? Or is the story merely about racial prejudice and exploitation, with interplanetary or interstellar trappings?

>There’s a sword-swinger on the cover, but is it really about knights battling dragons? Or are the dragons suddenly the good guys, and the sword-swingers are the oppressive colonizers of Dragon Land?

Yes.

Ugly books can fuck off, ugly things in general have no purpose
