Genius or hack?
In other words, is the Book of Mormon worth reading as a fictional text?

Petty criminal discovers magical golden plates that allow him to have multiple waifus and lift money from pseuds. I am thinking based.

I think the fact that his church continues to exist to this day and milk millions upon millions from gullible retards and still make them feel like they haven't done enough is proof of his genius.

As for the Book of Mormon, it's mind-numbingly dry. I honestly don't know how people ever found it compelling. But Joseph Smith was incredibly based. He got to bang tons of hot sliz, even married sliz while making the husbands think it was condoned by God, and get a taste of power through his "prophet" status. Most can only dream of such things.

Genius

if you read "Rough Stone Rolling" you get the impression the book of mormon was basically a side-hustle.

Joseph smith tried a million ways to make money, and they mostly all failed:
He owned 2 ferries (sunk), a hotel, a red brick store (bankrupt), an egyptian museum (burned down), the general of Zion's army (they turned around), ran for president (lost), was mayor (got killed for it), annotated the old and new testament, as a kid was a treasure hunter (almost put in jail for losing people money), started the "school for prophets," and a few other things

the dude was a genius

The guy actually sounds like a very despicable person irl, and if the daguerreotypes of him are real, he looks the part too. Of course nothing like his drawings and paintings.
