Game of Thrones’ writers don’t know what to do with prophets and geniuses

This is an interesting take - https://www.reddit.com/r/CriticalTheory/comments/bhg270/has_there_been_any_analysis_of_games_of_thrones/elvoni0/

... the reason GRRM can't finish writing is that the two central themes of the work would be necessarily betrayed by the process of arriving at an ending. Hence it is entirely fitting that the novels never be finished, needing to make the jump across formats to the simplified fantasies of television in order to append a conclusion to the inescapable morass of the text.

The two themes, by the way, are the endless fractal complexity of political relations and the traumatic failure of the naive teleological view of history.
