Old school Kennedy Democrat. Probably a political orphan even towards the end of his life, let alone now. Jaded view on scientific development surely backed up by real world evidence. Ian Malcolm seemed to be a self-insert and as time goes on it’s hard to argue against some of the claims of the fate of humanity falling into the hands of a cabal of over educated atheists that constantly reenact the flight of Icarus in their worldly pursuits.
Crichton had always planned on becoming a writer and began his studies at Harvard College in 1960.[9] During his undergraduate study in literature, he conducted an experiment to expose a professor who he believed was giving him abnormally low marks and criticizing his literary style.[12]:4 Informing another professor of his suspicions,[13] Crichton submitted an essay by George Orwell under his own name. The paper was returned by his unwitting professor with a mark of "B−".[14] He later said, "Now Orwell was a wonderful writer, and if a B-minus was all he could get, I thought I'd better drop English as my major."[11] His differences with the English department led Crichton to switch his undergraduate concentration. He obtained his bachelor's degree in biological anthropology summa cum laude in 1964[15] and was initiated into the Phi Beta Kappa Society.[15] He received a Henry Russell Shaw Traveling Fellowship from 1964 to 1965 and was a visiting lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom in 1965.[15] Crichton later enrolled at Harvard Medical School.[12][page needed] Crichton later said "about two weeks into medical school I realized I hated it. This isn't unusual since everyone hates medical school – even happy, practicing physicians
He figured out college is a high dollar brainwashing exercise under the influence of overpaid hacks that don’t recognize classic literature when it’s under their nose. Easily can see why he was having second thoughts about pursuing that program and remember, that was in a time when a semester would run you $500. Wonder what his impression of modern university would be?
I think it clear what he thinks. Have you read state of fear? He basically states its the propaganda machine that the media uses to push scare stories since the cold war ended
Yea I think you are right , he was surrounded by "smart" people his whole life and I think he developed a distaste for the over ambitious scholar
>Old school Kennedy Democrat
So a 21st century Republican?
well, I like his books
It's pronounced CREECHTON
On the other side:
-Promoted the DNA hoax
-Promoted the dinosaur hoax
Who?
reading congo right now. finished eaters of the dead before this. i love this dude's writing. is he considered mediocre by IQfy standards?
He is very mediocre but I can't even fault him for that. He was an unironic autist.
>He is very mediocre
why?
I think he writes very well personally maybe not artistically like IQfy prefers but very to the point and knows the way to keep the readers attention
The modern day Jules verne
Yes, but that’s because everyone on IQfy is a pseud
Eaters of the Dead is great, it was my first Crichton and I fell for him.
Who?
He’s a pretty shitty writer though
He is a great writer but you could say he isn't poetic
>-shit all over global warming
Redpill me on this, senpai
Not only did he write an entire novel (state of fear) shitting on it he also testified to congress about it
huh.. quite a legend, ngl
Reading his stuff you can tell if he had been born in our generation he'd post on here
Another one to add to the list of "if he were alive today he'd be shitposting on IQfy instead of writing the works they did"?
Yes because they wouldn't publish his incredibly based takes
I'm sure he'd find a way around that, tho. Guy seemed pretty resourceful.
He'd be in the BAP/Yarvis/ZHPL/DeliciousTacos self-published, right-leaning, popular-in-small-circles group of authors if he was a millennial or zoomer.
Anyone read Sphere?
Yea it probably my favorite
Very entertaining and Redpilled.
See
I read the Andromeda Strain not long ago.
Pretty cool until the very end, I have to admit I was kind of disappointed with the ending.
>predicted deepfakes would become a thing in 1992
Say what you want about his writing style, the man was an oracle when it came to technology
Also the fault with the fictional airplane in Airframe was almost identical to the 737 MAX, predicted 25 years in advance
Makes you wonder
what did he mean by this
How was he always right?
He "got this right" because it was the 90s and globalization was already plainly happening in front of everyone. You gonna call someone Nostradamus when they tell you your plane is about to crash because they saw its engine on fire?
More like an uncontrolled slats deployment
dawg...how did he get this right
Reading Jurassic Park at 12 probably redpilled me harder than I remember
The original is great, but the quote is from the sequel in which a major theme is that behavior (culture) can bring about extinction as much as environmental disaster
oof, and what he was explaining was a hell of a lot better than today's world too
Is this book based:

?
I made the mistake of reading Pirate Latitudes.
Anyone got an antidote for this?
Is it bad?
At least I thought it was. It was a never finished draft that he obviously gave up on but the estate found it and fixed it up and sold it to make money shortly after his death
Eh that's understandable
