That's a quote from the book, which the reviewer does say "...some will find unbearably pretentious"
- Ygg2 6y agoIndeed, Correct. However, still doesn't address my issue. It's talking circles and full of fun word phrases like "chronophage", "pettifogger". > That's a quote from the book, which the reviewer does say "...some will find unbearably pretentious" Sure. He found it charming. No wonder why.
- unishark 6y agoWell presumably he read it because he wanted to. I wouldn't have survived such language myself either, luckily "Max" was there to boil it down for you and I. And I found the review fairly amusing for a while. It cited some competing theories, including the book's theory which, despite psychoanalysis equating to people pulling complex theories out of their favorite orifice, was still a rather interesting theory worth thinking about. Certainly it beat a lot of articles about "fixing" social media which often seem to be little more than attempts at maximizing ad revenue by packing in lots of references to famous recent outrages and/or Trump (who barely got a mention here).
