yea man no insight to be found whatsoever in war and peace, Iliad, 2001 space Odyssey, the wall, waiting for Godot, Lolita, Carmen. if it's not obvious I'm being facetious: there's immense insight in "entertainment". good kid maad city, tpab and damn are masterworks of poetry/song. just because you don't understand them doesn't mean they're not valuable.

I think he agrees that there is some value in some entertainment. But not as much value as some claim there is.

Most entertainment, even the ones which pretend to have some "meaning" is just consumed for dopamine rush.
