My own take on culture is that there always has been and always will be trash - trash food, trash books, trash music - and trash is what makes life worth living Any revolution whose goal is cleaning up the trash and building a more wholesome and virtuous world can eat my dick

I’m a little uncomfortable that he brings up the Ramayana. There’s some stickiness in a white dude teaching and dissecting a vaunted religious text, belonging to largely non-white people, as literature. I’m sure it can be done respectfully, but...sticky.

I think that's a part that's been misunderstood - he's just saying that the white Western people who uphold the idea of a Universal Canon haven't even read that book He said that he doesn't support ANY "classics" in primary/secondary education
