      generally i find fiction superior to nonfiction as an epistemological tool because the usefulness of nonfiction is contingent on it being true

      "but surely some fiction is false" yes absolutely this is considered at length in eg The Unbearable Lightness of Being and The Things They Carried but even then--- https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1409473907866837002?s=19 …pic.twitter.com/pxVoINpdu6

          It's made to feel real only by the metrics of its creators and becomes increasingly unreal as you diverge from the creators ethos. fiction is to paint a real world using words that are real only to you. The dream is in that they might become real for you too.

          The great American impressionist painter, George Inness, is quoted by his son in this biography as saying to the effect that the impressionist painter is truth, but the photograph lies to you…

          …because the photograph will never be the real thing, but it tries to pretend to be. The impressionist painting, by contrast, never tries to convince you of something it isn’t, but it’s goal is to convey to you all the emotion of what the painting represents.
