The Nordic Delusion is based on the belief that Norway is rich because of domestic institutions, good intentions, and moral superiority
Other countries are not rich and don't implement the Nordic model because they haven't learned from Norway

Real artists assimilate everything that forms part of the impersonal plane that is their life. They do not neurotically look over their shoulder, totting up the relative degrees of "originality" (useless non-aesthetic notion that belongs in the marketplace) of bare content.
"You get at most one cliché per book."
Jonathan Franzen doesn't finish most books people send him. He reads until the second cliché, then stops.
"People send me a galley of a book that's coming out. I read along until I get to the second cliché, and I say, thank you."
"They tell me this is not an attentive writer. Aren't you aware that that's a cliché? Didn't it occur to you to stop and take 20 minutes to find a better phrasing than that?"
"You can also have borrowed feelings, borrowed ideas, borrowed situations. Sentiment can be clichéd, or unearned."
progressive metal looks good on paper, but then when you go listen to it Tool is the only actually good progressive metal band
do artist still put out 'greatest hits' records, and if no, what was the last 'greatest hits' record?
jag har köpt yogatofflor med såna där masserande pluppar som sitter på fjädrar som gnisslar när man går som vore jag en rostig gammal steam punk mech hemsökandes ruinerna av mina skapares fallna städer

um, actually, "artificial intelligence" is 4000 years old. it was invented in mesopotamia in the bronze age, it's called "writing," and it has been autonomously manipulating humans for evil purposes ever since
