"“…but the incoherent style and lack of straightforward structure makes for painful reading. I was unable to finish it. Was this text not worth editing? What was the motive for writing this book? Why did the author choose to remain anonymous? Why is the book obviously aimed at a male audience?”

Priceless. Oh, you wander your share, and sometimes cross a threshold of indulgence that can require deep concentration... or skipping over an it please a person. It's not like it's some goddam fucking college course (ai-EEEEE!!!!!!) The mental processes required to cobble these facts and notions together are way more bewildering than occasional stretches where Senor Sorkin rambles a bit an it pleases him.

For me, it's more than worth it. There's a kind of poetic entanglement of wildly disparate concepts that requires the author to wander wherever whenever; and the higher peaks of enthralling insight expressed with glee and nuance are far brighter than any foggy valleys.

But some people need a good beat that's easy to dance to, and that's that.

Boy did I write that confusingly. Moral: it's hard work acquiring and conveying the insights you reliably share. People want a nice easy acquisition, they should go to IKEA and pay the Some Assembly Required fee.

Agreed, and I don't think I got everything clearly explained, so you can find the rest of that book at its original site here:

I realized it would be a huge pain in the ass to transfer it all over to Substack, and I wasn't getting any traffic anyway so it kind of got on the back burner

And I know it's some point I'm going to fuck it up when I try getting everything in order and I'm not sure if Substack is really set up to shuffle things around

You're a busy fellow, I see. :) I'm having surgery tomorrow and will need good reading adventures to keep me, as they say, "occupied". Well, a good author really does attempt to possess the souls of his readers.
