    The video was cringingly defensive. His original tweet said, “The following is an ever-evolving list of books I’m hoping to read (or in many cases re-read) in 2023.” “In many cases” As I said, I’m surprised he hadn’t read all of them long ago, since he holds himself as a public intellectual.

      Does he? I don't recall him ever calling himself an intellectual. And must all intellectuals have read all of these books? Or maybe he's just a guy who likes reading.
