>get in on ground floor of "what if stream of consciousness + 80s/90s self-aware american pomo lit + oversharing neuroticism + internet zeitgeist" pseudosynthesis
>create short lived "all too timely" genre that survives on the backs of new york hipster wannabe "writer" queers who are only into it because they think they could do it too
>very briefly become famous chinaman about town, with clout to blow
>have sex with as many daddy's girl art hoes as possible by promising them "you can be a writer too. ive seen your twitter poem about how you do drugs and have sex, it's very 'authentic' and 'real', i think you've got chops kid, let me hook you up with my fake publisher"
>leave scene when it becomes undignified to participate in it any longer (hipster critical mass reached)
>genuinely mildly talented, can rest on clout laurels for years to come, transition to other things presumably
>all those art WHORES have nothing else in their lives or personalities except the brief moment they were almost sort of famous for being tao lin's groupie
>they all get left behind and have to go on weed podcasts and write "dude i smoked weed... FROM A COPY OF [book art hoes read in college in 2012]" articles on medium.com until time ends
TAO LIN's greatest work of art was his life, and the suffering it caused to aging 420 art hoes.

there's a chapter in Taipei where he writes about opening up /lit/ at a coffee shop and seeing multiple threads all hating on him and i think he ends up posting in them to defend himself from the haters... all the while feeling autistically nothing and sipping on (insert brand) iced tea. He also reccomends his art hoes to read /lit/ books like the book of disquiet.
