seriously. I don't even feel the need to refute them in conversation because, regardless of whatever their original intention, in the current year they're just a wing of the tech press's pseud advertising mill.

Biggest problem with Yud is that he has a very autistic view of what a human being is. He emphasizes humanism without realizing that most humans would find many of his values (e.g. letting his woman get fucked by other men) completely outlandish. He believes that rationality will simply make people adopt his values.

Looks like the kind of guy who would build his whole narcissistic identity around being smart. Used to be mensa dorks, now I guess it's silicon valley AI evangelists. Must be nice to just embrace zealotry for a few startups.
Dude looks like shit, if he's so smart why doesn't he rationalize his way into a fucking haircut and making some normal friends, why can't that good brain help him shed a few pounds. Looks like he stinks.

In fairness, I am not sure you could translate Hebrew poetry in such a way to keep both the meaning and make it sound beautiful.

There have been attempts at a poetic translation:

Also the psalms are commonly given a poetic treatment, though dont know much about that in the english language.

He writes it like a fucking fantasy novel, not like a fucking ancient text supposedly given from god. To many literary flourishes that ooze trying to sound aesthetic rather than being descriptive. Evn from an atheist anthropologist lense, its incredibly cringe. It doesnt sound like the book is addressing a bunch of desert dwellers in ancient times. or from a diest perspective, it doesnt impart nearly the magnitude or totality.

I can see why its out of print desu:

From the KJV:

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

From A Poet's Bible:

The Lord is my shepherd
and keeps me from wanting
what I can't have

lush green grass is set
around me and crystal water
to graze by

there I revive with my soul
find the way that love makes
for his name and though I pass

through cities of pain, through death's living shadow
I'm not afraid to touch
to know what I am

your shepherd's staff is always there
to keep me calm
in my body

you set a table before me
in the presence of my enemies
you give me grace to speak

to quiet them
to be full with humanness
to be warm in my soul's lightness

to feel contact every day
in my hand and in my belly
love coming down to me

in the air of your name, Lord
in your house
in my life.
