Like a story can literally beat someone over the head with a theme or moral and people somehow come to the opposite conclusion?

It’s like “Tyler Durden is so manly and cool” except every bit of media feels like it’s misinterpreted like that now.

    In this day and age, the more intellectual, the more complicatated, the more nuanced your ideas? The worse. Complexity and nuance are liabilities in this new world.

    This gave me a flashback to the debates in 2020 when Biden(?) asked Bernie to explain his economic plan or whatever, Bernie said “Do you have an hour?”, and Biden(?) said “that’s the problem”. The crowd cheered. This was the one where the crowd also booed literacy.
