Art

To me there is only truthful art or untruthful. If it’s untruthful and moral, that doesn’t interest me at all. If it’s truthful and amoral, that interests me substantially. Fiction that is bizarre or immoral doesn’t intrigue me very much, but factual writing detailing strange ways of thinking can be very artistic, in my view. This book, for instance, details the psychology of violence during a war:
One could say one shouldn’t read that kind of material as it is immoral, but this is the typical attitude of liberals who continue to retract into tinier bubbles of consciousness, whilst condemning the realities of the outside world.
