I gave and then repeated two beliefs of GRRM that I think are wise. I don't think you really need me to repeat again. Do you deny that my two cited beliefs are wise?j I know you don't deny the one on regime change, and again, he was there many years before 9/11 and Iraq.
OK, OK, wait...you may be referring to Tyrion. Who, as you may know, is almost universally considered to frequently voice the thoughts of George, though George will neither confirm nor deny this to my knowledge.
But Tyrion is wise. He messes up, goes through a drunk phase,
spoiler alert.....stop if you have read A Song of Ice and Fire.....
kills an abusive father - but one he believes will continue to commit murder if not killed - mistakenly supports a woman who is actually not only hyper-woke (crucify anyone who owned a slave) but is actually genocidal (George does not realize how much Dany is like Hillary, heh.) - - But Tyrion is often wise and when he is not he learns.
I'm not referring to anyone. I'm saying cynicism does not equal wisdom.
I'm not here criticizing GoT. I am criticizing GRRM. And I'm a big believer in separating art from artist. Artists are capable of creating things moving, profound, wise and deep. But it does not mean they themselves are.
've said GRRM is a mix and I won't discuss faults. I've said he has them. It seems like you might be saying that if a person is "unwise" in some way then they could not have not made wise statements. I've said that GRRM has said wise things. I have not called him "generally wise", "always wise" or even "a wise person".
As for separating, I know GRRM well enough and have heard him say enough to know he deeply believes the two pieces of wisdom I attributed to him, which are also both illustrated in his books.
Actually, you said <<"Artists are capable of creating things moving, profound, wise and deep. But it does not mean they themselves are.">> Sticking with writers (musicians and artists are a different story) I have to admit, I'm not sure I see how this is true. Well, except that the writer is a mix of "wise person" and "foolish person" which is the human condition after all.
In fact, let's go to today's quote about the human heart and the line. The line is also there in the heart between foolish and wise.
And if that is the game now, I would in turn like to see your evidence that cynicism IS wisdom.
But I did not say cynicism is wisdom.
