Every once in a while, I read something that makes me question the possibility that you’re more than an amped-on-Monster provocateur who’s having fun with pseuds, and this piece is one of them. Not because I have some great love for Omela logic, I’ve never been a huge fan of Le Guin, but simply because the origins of postmodern frustration. If you’ve never read any Irving Kristol, I suggest the essay “when virtue loses all her loveliness” to give some historical context.

But I’m quite sure your imagination is failing you on how unpleasant getting your teeth pulled out is.

This is fucking brilliant. I laughed out loud three times.

I think the hamster wheel is better than the boxing match—less risk of injury creating legal problems.

Sometimes I wonder how someone can be so dumb but then I read “Bentham’s Bulldog is 21” and am reminded that I am no longer 21.
