Very bad. Chas. Rose, Leonard Lopate and now the most talented of the bunch: Mistah Señor Junot Díaz. People still read Shakespeare (religiously intolerant) and Lovecraft (racially intolerant) despite the shortcomings of those two guys. Hence we will also probably continue to read Mistah Señor Junot Díaz (incapable of controlling his baser instincts toward the ‘straight pepper diet’). Talent is as talent does.
And if Don Trump Sr. & Don Trump Jr., both burdened with libidinous shortcomings similar to those of Mistah Señor Junot Díaz, ever wrote something worth reading, we’d continue to read them, too. The work, the art, stands on its own. Shakespeare, Díaz — both worth reading, no matter what. Trump Père & Trump Fils, not worth reading, even if they were choirboys at the altar of Saint Teresa of Calcutta, er, Kolkata. Thank you! Time’s never up for quality work, quality art.
Again, in this day and age of constant stimuli, it is well nigh impossible to maintain a measured, emotional sobriety. SOcial MEdia, MESSage boards etc., they all want you to outsource your reactions and feelings to their care and direction — true spirituality is far off! That said, you’ll probably be better off keeping your own counsel, and discovering by doing things on your own, and so on. Stay strong, people. You’re not compelled to be a self-righteous hothead, you know.
