I am reading that New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin and I cannot overemphasize how much he is a stupid person's idea of what a smart person sounds like. I resent having to know who this man is. I wish to wipe him from my memory.

Me, looking at my work calendar: This is insane. No one can do this much work. I'm going to find the asshole that did this and give them a piece of my mind! Me, looking in the mirror: Oh no.
