KoRMaK posted:I think it was here but somebody posted an article talking about how waaay too many of us mid 20 to mid 30 year olds on the internet are descrbing real events in terms of fictional events, e.g. trump and the empire. Was pretty good, would repost it if I knew how to find it. One of the features that makes Peter Thiel and other Silicon Valley titans so disturbing is that their political thinking seems to be derived mostly from the entertainment of their childhoods. Palantir, Thiel’s billion-dollar surveillance-and-analytics startup, is named for the “seeing stones” in J.R.R. Tolkien’s novels, and the influence pervades the firm, which names its offices and conference rooms after locations in Middle Earth. Elon Musk, who has said that education should be like a videogame, dismisses climate change as a problem that we can escape by fleeing on his rockets to Mars. The tech industry thrives on a moonshot sensibility, preaching fantastical change while voting, as San Francisco recently did, to take tents away from homeless people who can’t afford to live in their small utopia. Limitless imagination is practiced alongside a quotidian pettiness. nice

also that second article is p lol But that just isn't the world we live in, and for some folks, the Young Adult fiction they grew up with and the movies they currently watch are the strongest tools they have to make sense of the world around them. Condemning them for it won’t somehow make them smarter or more thoughtful, it will only make you feel superior to them for liking "better" books. *compares 1984 to hunger games*
