On: Intellectuals Are Fucking Idiots

[motionlessveloc]

This is written by the author of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck", so gratuitous cursing is his schtick.

The book is actually more interesting than you'd think from the title, but (IMHO) the profanity still distracts from the message, and like most self-improvement books you could probably condense the 200+ pages into 10.

He's also a white guy from a rich family.

Born on 3rd and thinks he hit a triple. He wrote a rant once saying that your shouldn't worry about STDs/STIs because he doesn't know anyone with one.

His own book falls apart if you think too much. He's insecure that not everyone agrees with his advice.

He never stops to think that most people can't up and quit the only job they've ever had after 6 weeks.

And if you read one, you read at least 80% of all the content of the others. Some are good and you get 20% of novelty, but that's rare
