90% of their views are from school teachers who want to check their phones while some bald faggot explains things they forgot from university/they cheated their way to their position and have no clue what they are talking about half the time.

Also there is a huge lack of philosophers who dont write autistic 1000 page essays about bullshit that the average person doesnt care about. There is a reason why there is a huge boom in authors like jordan peterson, because he can write simple things without judgement.

Is there some predominating theme we can trace across his body of work. Obviously there are Christian/gnostic tones in a lot of them, but I feel that this is not so important in Sutree or (more controversially) Blood Meridian. Counter to that there are fairly explicit references to Nietzsche peppered throughout his work, Dionysian consumption, truth and lies, etc. What do you think he's trying to say?

>he has never been reading a book and without realizing gone on "autopilot" reading while what he's reading plays out in front of his "eyes"/mind without effort
