Yet by not playing it, you’re relying on somebody else’s description of what’s in it, which can be very misleading.
For example, the discourse around Horses.
Its fine not to like certain themes but obsessing over not seeing them to the point that you’re making lists is not really healthy.

I can rely on plenty of people’s description of Ayn Rand to know what I don’t have to read any for myself.

You can knee-jerk but you can’t give informed criticism.
You can’t even separate “You shouldn’t obsess over avoiding ideas” from “You have an obligation to absorb everything.”
