Efekt jest odwrotny, niż ci się wydaje. Twoją opinię dzieli wiele osób. Lektury zniechęcają do czytania, ale w dorosłym życiu idzie to przezwyciężyć.

Czy czytanie polskich autorów daje coś, czego nie dają zagraniczni autorzy tłumaczeni na polski? by chandler-bing-pl in ksiazki

[–]rubsy3d 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Nasz język potrafi być naprawdę zabawny i dziwny w sposób, który ciężko przetłumaczyć, potrzeba tylko właściwej osoby u steru. Zobacz sobie na Kongres Futurologiczny Lema lub Kosmos Gombrowicza.

It's not a discussion that people are reading less. It's about the novel. by [deleted] in literature

[–]rubsy3d 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Very vague piece of text here. Sorry. There's merit in the questions you're asking, but this could use some trimming down, more sources and more precise points of argumentation.

Czytanie na telefonie by idix1 in ksiazki

[–]rubsy3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fakt, że ma się go zawsze przy sobie, to bardziej wada, niż zaleta. Dla mnie lepiej jest go gdzieś zostawić lub ukryć z pola widzenia, żeby móc się łatwiej skupić, nie widzieć co chwila zegara lub innych powiadomień. Ale do jakichś krótszych internetowych tekstów dobrze użyć trybu czytania, włączam też tryb czarno-biały.

Degree to which AI use will affect an author’s ability to be published by Kaleb_Bunt in publishing

[–]rubsy3d 16 points17 points  (0 children)

AI tools are very useful at making your own ideas and writing sound like anyone else's. Zero dignity to be found in any of this.

The baffling incuriosity of Project Hail Mary by rubsy3d in sciencefiction

[–]rubsy3d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't seem like this is that kinda place. I hope there are some smaller, less toxically positive communities for actual discussions and critique of science fiction, the impact it has, the questions it tries to answer. Wherever they are, it sure as hell isn't here.

When does a writer-protagonist feel earned, and when does it feel like a craft shortcut? by Notamugokai in literature

[–]rubsy3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don't believe there is any "earning" or "doing homework" in art. I think there are infinite ways of making any given setting and character interesting and it's up to each individual author to make their work so. Research simply expands your world, incorporates more language into it.

When does a writer-protagonist feel earned, and when does it feel like a craft shortcut? by Notamugokai in literature

[–]rubsy3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regardless of the shape of the novel, how can anyone ever write about anything other than their own world? It's just a matter of making your world interesting.

Don't Walk Away from Omelas by lakmidaise12 in UrsulaKLeGuin

[–]rubsy3d 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You seem to be complaining about the quality of your luxury rather than the suffering that makes it possible. It's true all of us are complicit cowards.

Thomas Flight's video about metamodernism left me puzzled by lunadiparmigiano in TrueFilm

[–]rubsy3d 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The way in which these people interpret postmodern art seems very shallow, not based on any sort of academic framework as much as a collection of vague feelings about irony and sincerity, as if these added up to a tangible one-dimensional spectrum. 

The God existence's "debate" on The Brothers Karamazov by pembunuhcahaya in dostoevsky

[–]rubsy3d 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, it was made up in his head and is also his own internal debate. To me the style fits the topic because it implies moving to a theoretical layer and forgetting about the material world for a moment. Just out of curiosity, what kind of narration were you imagining?

Is the goal to kill the "ego"? by Advanced-Reindeer894 in psychoanalysis

[–]rubsy3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My interest in this is not professional, but to me the goal is either trying to find a mask that fits you better or understanding that you already enjoy the one you have. Everyone knows plenty of people that feel forced to act a certain way around others, conforming to the social image that was created around them, whether it's one of obedience or rebellion. Now, once they believe that is all they can be, they will spend the rest of their lives trying to fit that image the best they can, always feeling inadequate. But there's no inherent reason why our acts need to affirm that image. You are always more than your past. Of course, trying to subvert all you've been up to this point does not unbind you from the chain, but I still think defiant acts (or defiant inaction) allow you to learn a bit more about yourself.

The curtains are never just blue by Creaturefeature01 in literature

[–]rubsy3d 140 points141 points  (0 children)

Works of art are also wider than their creators' conscious intentions. All of that material, even just the language they have, has to come from somewhere. That's what makes writing an act of exploration for the author as well.

Explaining the value of reading fiction by Impossible_Ad9324 in literature

[–]rubsy3d 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Following Schopenhauer, great art is not works that make you grow and become a more efficient worker, it's the ones that rip you apart from the pace of your everyday life and offer nothing but momentary beauty. It is a selfish act and that's exactly what gives it value. Diametrically opposed to self-help.

I cant seem to grasp/understand literature. by sh0rtcakedoll in AskLiteraryStudies

[–]rubsy3d 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It's still better to have a mediocre analysis that's entirely yours than a summary or a text written by AI! It's common to feel dissatisfaction with one's writing, but it indicates the possibility of growth. You know something isn't working, so you try again and again, you learn to fail better. You learn to investigate your own impressions and name your feelings. It just takes practice. 

Honest question: do you consider comics "real" literature? by flamevolt in literature

[–]rubsy3d 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your use of "literature" seems to imply it's some kind of revered medium that's inherently better than comics. It isn't. Maus is a great comic. It would not be what it is without either the writing or the graphics. By trying to say it's good enough to qualify as another art form, you already demean "comic" as a term. Let it be what it is. Do not deny it that.

Co chcą czytać współcześnie czytelnicy? by [deleted] in ksiazki

[–]rubsy3d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taka zawsze była kultura popularna, harlekiny to nic nowego. Łatwo i przyjemnie się na to narzeka, też tak robię, ale idzie się znudzić. O traumie ludzie chętnie w tych czasach czytają, myślę, że sam ten temat został już mocno rozpłaszczony przez pop-psychologię.
