Why is this guy so angry?

That aside, his math is wrong



He's not angry it's an angsty way of writing, a lot of used to write like that as teenagers. There was a time around 5 years ago where ever best selling book raced to have "fuck" or "vagina" in the title.


If you're emotionally on edge when reading it, it's easier to miss that his math is wrong and he's no expert. Writing that way benefits him.


dang.. that's an angle I haven't thought of


Us British have a unique relationship with profanity as a way to communicate.

edit: Aussies and kiwis too!


Yeah his writing is emotionally exhausting


Why are you -not- angry at all of this insanity? I feel the same way as him, hype has blown the bubble bigger and bigger, and it's just a matter of time until it poops out and causes huge amounts of pain.


Yes it’s like watching the titanic. But the question is if the Titanic is 30% of way there or just before hitting an iceberg.


How is the math wrong?
