I'm not sure what to make of your inability to distinguish a parody of Grand Theory hucksterism from the real thing. Is this some kind of meta-commentary?

- buboard 8y ago> that's a joke. So ? it's still a hit piece that ridicules the same stuff. Probably not for promotion though, i dont think anyone would want to buy it. Apart from vague opinionated irony , there is little in arguments here, and from my skim reading many are false (such as he talks unintelligibly)
