I'm often drawn to fiction, but find it unfulfilling when I pursue it. I've been wondering about what its proper role is. I think I understand now.
The Paradox Producing fiction - games, novels and so on - is apparently the True Will of some people. However, it's hard to imagine that
consuming fiction is someone's True Will. So are the producers to create for
nobody? That seems wrong.
The Resolution "Fiction conveys experience" (
https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/fiction) says Yudkowsky. However, reading Sword and Sorcery fiction won't teach you *
much* about either. What it
will show you is whether you are
drawn to these topics. It helps with
finding your True Will. That is its function.
If, however, you already know your True Will, then you should stay away and "Do what thou wilt—then do nothing else." (
