Encourage friends and family to ignore and turn off the MSM. Okay you like the Zombies, you can tell them, but the news is all just propaganda, do without. Stop reading the WSJ, the NYT, The Economist, (Alex Jones) etc.

Shutting out that corporate crap I think would help people see more clearly.

It's a necessary evil. It's absurd to think that common people can and should have any impact on how our society is run. I actually feel safer in my irrelevance, because it means that all these other apes with their naive opinions are irrelevant, too.

That said, I still hope to create art that soothes and encourages my fellow social and cultural aliens.

Wrong. The "common people" are the overwhelming majority, and will make their voices heard in some way no matter what cultural obstacles are put up - sooner or later a Voltaire or a Blake or a Joyce figure comes along, and changes everything. It's only a matter of time before the next one.

Your second statement is obviously false though, and you've shoehorned it in in order to buttress your chauvinism. People make their image choices for reasons. You somehow imagine yourself as sage, knowing, like the subject of the picture is supposed to appear. But it ain't so.

You are not welcome back at this site, and you are just as stupid as you have ever been. Just the other day, I was thinking that I hadn't seen any posts in recent months with your turd of a trip besmirching them, and being very glad of it. Stop posting and leave.

At the time, absolutely. Even now Songs of Innocence and Experience or Dubliners aren't exactly stumpers, and deal with some highly relatable aspects of basic human existance.

I think you'd be hard pressed to prove that any of those names changed anything about the way people lived their lives.

>novel is dead and culturally irrelevant
People are reading more than ever (although maybe not millenials). What they read is garbage but the novel isn't dead.
>movies are dead and culturally irrelevant
Movies are very culturally relevant, our society is focused on consumerism so movies reflect that but they aren't dead. Some mainstream film makers are very good.
>fiction writers and movie stars are irrelevant
Just not true. Why don't you make some actual arguments.

Most of what is out there in media is garbage but that doesn't mean people can't appreciate quality, they are usually just mislead to believe garbage like DFW is "good literature" which turns people off from reading good books.

It doesn't matter what the name is, those were just the first three that came to mind. Point is virtually everyone's been affected in that way by SOME writer or piece of writing (perhaps I should have said Shakespeare), and to claim that such things are "irrelevant" is absurd.
