The real nightmare is having read through 3/4 of this, only to realize it's the longest bitchy complaint I've ever read through.
No substance and a lot of arrogance.
The more curious take-away is that these extremely long winded rants of his have younger people fooled as being worthwhile.
If you have something of value to say - you distill it, condense it, so as to ease the mental effort required for someone else to understand the point you're trying to make.
It reminds me of what philosophers do - they exhaust you into thinking they're making some sophisticated point simply because they're using fancy words that produce the thought of 'am I missing something? Surely no one is spouting complete nonsense for 400 pages, it must be me'. It isn't you. It's them on a massive ego trip - this guy being a great example.

- alexashka 9y agoI can summarize what he's said in the 3/4s that I've read, down to 2 or 3 paragraphs, with a few bullet points. The author complains about tedious procedure, while writing the most tedious blog I've had the displeasure of reading. The obliviousness and callous arrogance of the author, combined with cult-like reverence some people seem to have for his babbling is what makes this at all worth commenting on.
- frooxie 9y agoI don't want it summarized; every paragraph is funny and interesting as is. You, on the other hand, seem oblivious and arrogant.
