which work of fiction would it be most advantageous for humanity

morning /lit/ is lit af brah

My Twisted World.

The Malleus Maleficarum

if you would even THINK of suggesting GR as a moral instruction text you havent read all of the meme trilogy.
Both Ulysses and Infinite Jest have far stronger moral themes.

>>9396426
at the time that i wrote this i hadnt actually noticed the joke in the image.

Infinite Jest. but pretty much everything DFW warned us about/pre-empted has happened.

>>9396426
there's a pretty famous review of GR that outright calls it 'a text made for moral instruction', I probably won't find it and link it but you can

IJ

>>9396450
Everything in IJ was already happening when DFW was writing it. He pre-empted nothing.

The Bible, obviously. It was written for that purpose.
I'd suggest the Illiad and Odyssey, but then we'd just regress back to Greek Culture.

>>9396591
i guess that's a fair statement, however, I feel the themes have been somewhat amplified in the past couple of years.

East of Eden

>accepting dogmatic morality
christfaggots pls go

The Bible

>>9396569
V. most certainly has an instruction.
>keep cool but care

>>9396627
>Greek Culture
>regress

uhm...

>>9396627
>assuming being written for a purpose makes something well suited to that purpose

>>9396646
If you read his e pluribus unum you'd realize his stole most of his future technology ideas from the guy he talks about towards the end.

The greeks or the Bible as it stands today

anything else is shit

unironically Plutarch's Moralia would be a good choice

How To Win Friends and Influence People

>Regress back to Greek Culture
You mean back to a time where art and culture flourished, and everyone wasn't a soulless, degenerate hedonist? Oh no...

A stateless society with the New Testament at its ethical foundation but allows for opposing systems of ethics as long as they don't violate the harm principle

That's a rather fanciful view of the Hellenic age.

>>9397350
This is what Nietzsche thought essentially.

Reclaim what was great about the Greeks and Romans before the Judeo-Christian slave morality fucked everything up.

The legacy of totalitarism in a tundra desu

The Plague by Camus

>>9396648
This is also a good choice

>>9396627
OP's asking for fiction though.
The Greeks of the Iron age were far degenerated from those of the Heroic, but that you you should well know.

The Shepherd by Hermas

to kill a mockingbird

atticus finch is the goat male and all should aspire to be like him

The Iliad, desu.

the bible. but for real this time.

>>9401009
As an atheist, I more or less agree.

Not the bible as a whole though. Certainly not most of the old testament, or Paul's letter or the like.

But the gospels are a breddy gud philosophy to live by.
