Re: Kerry Muhlestein's Brand New Article TODAY and My Take on it

I assume he says that with a straight face, so what audience is he talking to? Are there really still people so gullible or isolated or uneducated that they take statements like this at face value? Well, actually, that was my fake piece I added to mock him. I guess it seems pretty genuine. ;) It ac...

Re: Reading Discussion?

Have you read any Greg Egan? I have not. I only know about Stephenson because of his Lex Fridman interview, so Greg Egan is a complete mystery to me.

Re: Reading Discussion?

I can’t really commit to a reading group right now, but I do want to pop in and make an unsolicited recommendation.
