I don't want to be too hard on Burgess here, because he is a little better at being fair to both sides than some of his counterparts. But let's face it: the only reason there even are two sides is because he made his anti-violence conditioning also remove ability to enjoy classical music. Which in terms of subtlety, is only one step above "as a side effect, using science gives you an overwhelming urge to drown kittens".

This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. I find that exposure to LW ideas makes me less likely to enjoy some entertainment media that is otherwise quite popular, and finding media recommended by LWers is a good way to mitigate this.

To see previous recommendations, check out the older threads.
