Nietzsche is full of shit in many regards, but his devotees dodge this by ascribing him nebulous virtues of "Prophet"and "Poet," everything in a haze of pseudomysticism, which they never offer to figures or philosophies Nietzsche antagonized, even when they better merit the mysterious.

Yes, singularity is a meme made up by people who haven't a slightest idea how AI, statistics or machine learning works. They are spooked by the cool gadgets people make nowadays that they have a lot of computing power and exclaim "these programs will be like humans soon!". Nothing of the sort is going to happen for many centuries. Literally the same shit was being said after the industrial revolution, the invention of computers, all the time. And it's always the boomers who don't know how the technology they're so impressed with works. "It's gonna happen any day now!": sure thing gramps, go take your meds now.

Somewhat agree but that's a little too hyperbolic, I do think that there are some very very underappreciated American writers that hardly ever get discussed on this board or anywhere else for that matter.

Postmodernism isn't bad. Most people on here just think it's cool and intellectual to worship modernist like they're old lit professors.

The three core Beats (Keroauc, Burroughs, and Ginsberg) are all good and culturally influential writers. They're indicative of a change in American thought and should be considered a notable part of American literary traditions.

Eastern philosophy books are fantastic at helping you improve your personal life, goals, etc. You don't need to follow in the footsteps of esoteric western theologians to think critically. I recommend Taoist classics or Japanese literature on Zen and Bushido, but that's just what I've read.

I enjoy the way certain postmodernists are bending the actual form of literary tradition in ways that changes what it means to tell a story. Strict boundaries and traditional linear narratives are nice and fine, but by experimenting with classically irrefutable elements of modernist narratives (# of narrators/perspectives, additions of fictitious fragments, different methods of organization, etc) I think postmodern writers are providing massive expansions to what is possible and looking not only at conveying a story to the reader but how the reader is able to interpret the story.

These are things that modernists have done as well, but postmodern writers (at least those I have read) have done it at length and to more experimental degrees.
