1. Books were never any "cooler" than they are today, so to insist on making books "cool again" is a retarded demand.

2. Books today are consumed digitally as well as their paper equivalents, so a lack of presence of physical books does not mean that the person in question is not well-read.

3. The potential fuckee may not be not a bourgeoisie faggot with enough disposable income to amass a spergerific amount of physical books. Low-income readers use the library and don't amass books for vanity's sake like Mr. Waters.

3. John Waters is a faggot and his public persona represents the flaming faggotization and pussification of the young modern western artist, which has done more to harm art in the west than any other factor.

4. OP is a faggot, as well.

Suddenly it is revealed that the poster you once knew as Hipster Buddha is none other than the glorious Tao Lin!

Holy shit, I loved that work he wrote about the time he used Twitter and ended up tweeting a gorilla while trying to scour Harlem for some banana-flavored frozen yogurt. What zany adventures you must have Mr. Lin.

My meat is at least one whole letter grade higher than the meat you find at your local taco stand. What meat do you eat? I bet it is at best grade B-. You see, over in Mexico, I'm hailed as the smokiest and most flavorful lunch item in the South Americas. Have you even been to Mexico?

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD?

I wouldn't call D+E "smart." He has a lot of intellect, in that he knows a lot, but that's different from the meaning of smart.

In fact, I'd say he's not smart at all.

Again, you guys are confusing "intelligence" with "smarts" with "sagacity." They all mean different things.

Smart implies a quick, often brilliant wit. There is a craftiness implied with it that D+E doesn't possess.

Intelligent means quick understanding and rational thought--which D+E surely has. Intelligence takes place outside of wasting time on 4chan. One can be intelligent and engage in stupid shit.

This is where sagacity comes in. Is it wise to waste your intellect in 4chan? No, no it isn't.

To recap: D+E is not smart nor wise, but he certainly is intelligent.
