Nolan's The Odyssey is a film anxiously concerned that it is too smart for its audience.Their words

Their words
The problem is that the experience is irreducible and there is nothing else to quite compare it to. What reading is like is reading.

Their words
In reading, we do not break with reality: we are aware at the back of our mind that we are sitting and reading a book. We do not believe in the events of the book.

Their words
A book, as a physical object, generally has no aura, as Benjamin described it, but the text does.

Reading fiction does not mean believing its events or entering delusion.
In reading, we do not break with reality: we are aware at the back of our mind that we are sitting and reading a book. We do not believe in the events of the book.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

Where they publish
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
