What does /lit/ think of “the egg” by Andy wier?https://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg.html
>>25186639I remember reading this a long time ago. Didn't know it was written by the Big Weir. I don't like it now
Narwhal bacons at midnight probably.
Here comes Mary, here comes LeeI'll bet what they want to seeI won't let them stretch their necksTo see my little black egg with the little white specks
Very bad little story. Joe Rogan would probably say its "trippy" and really enjoy it.

>>25186639I liked the concept when I was a teenager but the writing is pretty bad. Also I feel like this kind of belief in reincarnation is retarded once you've grown up. Even the majority of Hindus believe reincarnation is tied to your chaste.
>>25186639i didn't realize this was the same dude who did the martian. i think i read this when i was in high school or something. i always thought it was just some shallow attempt at spirituality by someone who was unread in religion and theology. it reeks of modern western egalitarianism, "everyone's the same, we're all one" kind of bullshit we teach to kindergarteners too innocent to deal with reality.
>>25186639It's reddity but a decent parable for Monism. If I taught a HS level class on philosophy I'd use it as teaching material
>>25187303>"everyone's the same, we're all one" kind of bullshitTrue. You're inferior to me.
>>25186639I prefer Hatchling.
>>25186639Holy fuck. I read this as a green text like a decade ago and thought it was gay. Then I found out it was from an actual author years later but for some reason attributed it to Ted Chiang -- I've been avoiding that chigga for years because of it!
>>25186639It's a cute idea.
>>25186639Read "The Egg" by Sherwood Anderson instead, way better than this.
>>25188309I am superior to everyone else because I believe we should all be equal
>>25188321same, except for some reason I thought it was written by John GreenI also thought the movie The Martian was dumb, so I don't plan to read or watch Hail Mary
For John, Paul, George and Ringo
