quotas kill literature (rambo style)

2 years ago

Reading is on the way out.. In our post-literate age, video games, virtual reality, social media, streaming services, adult content and other distractions take precedence over books. Diversity quotas in literature and in MFA programs are destroying reading.

The collapse of the university meritocracy created an army of below average writers who can't make people care about their work. If they did, fellowships, grants, scholarships, professor positions, and other fluff money wouldn't be necessary. Do video game creators receive tens of millions of dollars a year in donations or from the government? No, they make products people care about. I haven't given up on the written word. I know books can contend with any form of media.
