Can you point to an example? I think you might be confusing information with depth of character and understanding. Yes, we have new and better information now

I think you might be confusing information with depth of character and understanding.
Yes, we have new and better information now, but the ways in which it is expresses is notably inferior to the writings I've been exposed to from the past.
- kennywinker 4y agoMy deep reading won’t be your deep reading, but the two standout books i’ve read recently and have changed my understanding of the world: Parable of the sower by octavia butler All about love by bell hooks Neither of those were written in the last decade - but that’s a product of me not being very aware of the literary scene - it takes a long time for works to reach me, but by the time they do it’s only good stuff. I wonder if that’s maybe some of what you’re experiencing as well - older works that stuck around have stood the test of time, while the crap got forgotten.
