I have no understanding of your viewpoint. I wish I did, it sounds interesting. I do like a Crafting Interpreters or Mythical Man Month... But I don't understand how those could not only be held to the same level as The Hobbit, but that you seem incapable of even reading Animal Farm. Do you enjoy any fictional media? TV, movies, plays, interactive murder mystery dinners, tabletop games (d&d, etc)?

> Do you enjoy any fictional media? TV, movies, plays, interactive murder mystery dinners, tabletop games (d&d, etc)? Nope, I truly live under a rock when it comes to those. I've been wanting to watch the big ones (Hobbit, LotR, ...), but – and I say this with no disdain: I simply cannot get myself to consume hours upon hours of somebody else's fantasy – when I could instead be shaping my own reality.

  This is fascinating. Do you enjoy music?

  By "shaping my own reality" do you mean taking hallucinogenic drugs?
