20.05.2025 14:04 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The piece though is more saliently about hatred vs. enjoyment / βbec[oming] a hater instead of a loverβ and that is a false economy, one that has long been used to stifle criticism. It is not βmeanβ to dislike something. Thatβs engagement and thatβs how culture and taste are made

15.05.2025 14:32 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0What Iβm asking for is for you to break down your original point. Sci-fi, EVs, and hoverboards are all different categories of things. Theyβre all part of the same cultural field but in a way thatβs so diffuse that I genuinely donβt get the political point you want to make
15.05.2025 14:24 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0No but they have different kinds of cultural significance than the other things youβre talking about
15.05.2025 14:19 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yeah sci-fi can be annoyingly statist (notable exceptions exist) but the hoverboard is not βresearchβ it was just a fad

05.05.2025 13:16 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0It is! We have inherited a very doctrinaire idea of realism that needs significant reexamination. Frankenstein and Middlemarch are both realist novels even if they differ significantly at the level of story. George Levine thought this too fwiw
