![It’s less about responsibility and more about how you can show a lot more trust for your audience if you’re asking questions rather than answering them. The political writers I really admire aren’t writing polemics. Like George Orwell-you read Animal Farm, and it’s such a simple little story. But it is the political parable that applies to almost any structure in history, it is the metaphor for every ideology. And he didn’t do it by spoon-feeding anybody. Then you go to 1984, the other political parable that you need to understand politics. He never said out loud, “This is what I think,” he left that up to you.
That’s the sort of stuff that inspires me, as opposed to someone like [Ayn] Rand, who would basically say “this is the way the world is, and I will brook no questions.” That’s not to say she doesn’t have interesting ideas-I spent five years of my life making a game about her, obviously I find here fascinating. But certainty. What always strikes me about these people are their certainty. Whenever somebody’s certain I get very, very nervous. I mean, look at politics right now: there’s this sort of Manichean struggle, and I don’t find those stories very interesting. That’s why I don’t find either left or right particularly open. People talk about how we need conservative movies, or liberal movies, and I find that so dull. Because that means you’ve already answered the question for yourself, you’re just intellectually dead.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qicsnjwnxh6fqt7ddpxgel37/bafkreiepnehbriqwyocczr7ckonn27xnp7otcwagv75zoycks745vgvkl4)
