      It is an answer and the fact you unironically tweet the shit you do while failing to realise how much you love the taste of boot leather just proves you should spend less time bloviating/drinking piss and more time reading.

          Um...okay. But isn't this a bit limiting. I mean, the classic authors have their merits. There's no doubt about that. But you can't just dismiss current science fiction as if it doesn't matter or isn't great. Because there are great science fiction writers right now.

          Most fiction of any genre published at any time is garbage. I’d say 90% of first printing books are a waste of your time to read. People get rose-colored glasses bc they forget they things no one recommend or they put down after one page. Probably meant most of the popular SF. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1289983463567720449 …

          Yay! You added me to the Neverending Twitter Thread! Thank you Michael Ende of Twitter. Not...evenly distributed... this is a really bad take. You're suggesting that greatness can only be attributed to works older works because: time = greatness. It does not. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1290752679359242248 …

          68/ Still chuckling that I made an SJW mad by agreeing with Heinlein that some women are smart / good at things and enjoy sex.

          You can’t jump from 90% only award winners (which is certainly less than 1%). You’d be better off doing bestsellers if you want an accurate overview of good writing. My point was, it’s impossible to support the claim that SF of any era is better written. https://twitter.com/morlockp/status/1290754057733312513?s=21 … https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1290754057733312513 …

          Hi, perhaps you should reread the bit in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress about what happens to yahoos who don't respect women's right to refuse consent.

          74/ I didn't say "no", I said "all but". Which, if you're familiar with the English language, you know means "nearly". Jeff Vandermeer is a great author. John Scalzi ... also, yes, writes.https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1290772169899888643 …

          no white men publish in sf anymore. this is a true thing. Jeff Vandermeer and John Scalzi don't exist. (they're both heavily influenced by golden era sf too, if that's your poison.) https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1289984815362498567 …

          No, I was wrong. You should read Among Others all the way through until you get to the Heinlein bit, then stop, think about yourself, and finish it.

          80/ LOL, seriously, @nberlat , what kind of point is "some author disagrees with your politics" supposed to be? Why would you even SAY that? What do you think it's going to accomplish? Heinlein and Haldemann had very different politics but they respected each others craft.
