I read because I'm not that good at piano. Honestly. I'll probably end up like Nietzsche.

i thought they were fun. from the perspective of a classical musician i was impressed with the idea of doing all the canons and shit in dialogue form, it worked surprisingly well.

Because it was written by an Autistic stoner living with his parents. It also succeeded with terrible dialogues.
Both of which should give you hope.

This whole book is shit. I can understand why people liked it before the internet but for decades now it reads like the know-it-all son in white noise

I understood the book is for people who don't actually have curious minds and might force them open.

an empty statement to prove you didn't understand the book, gg

I'll admit I don't really get what the whole deal of the book was, but I thought it was entertaining anyway. Especially that whole bit with the lanterns and djinns.

STEMtards are shit at writing. The whole "Reddit" style of writing is what happens when your average Joe gets exposed to too much pop science.

not that anon, but plato wrote outlandish setups and idiotic strawmen to make his dialogue "come together" with the point he was trying to shove down the reader's throat. I'd guess that's what they're referring to

Plato's strawmanning was obvious, and overtly done, all parties were aware. There's strawmanning and then there's strawmanning.
