oh goddess, he's already a bleeding muppet, and going to be a major crank. from the researchgate profile:

I am an aspiring polymath and a rōnin scholar. I also tend to look at questions, rather than fields of study, as a research question often does incorporate many disparate topics. Research interests include the psychological and anthropological nature of religion, vaccine efficacy and impact on asymptomatic carriage, and the application of paraconsistent logic to scientific research.

rōnin! fucking! scholar!

i think this is a common european misconception; the us is bloody religious, even compared to our polish parishes.

(and if you want to know how the salespeople think? remember the movie glengarry glenn ross? the movie about alienation and lack of humanity? this absolutely inhumane monster is thought by them as an example of the right attitude.)

(nothing wrong with that per se, i don't have any c. s. degree anyways and yet i work in the field for years. but the gall of a dude who has finished a few two-year courses to tell fucking law professionals that they don't know enough… this is indeed the threadnought-level of recklessness.)

he's the very model of a modern crypto-douchebag.

this is such a sad slop. i wouldn't guess it's yegge, it's so far from his style when he used to write himself.

fwiw i was mostly annoyed by the “his wife is doing what” in the comment i was answering directly – going after him just because of his wife would be like going after varoufakis just because his wife is supposedly the heroine of blur's “common people”.

and i happily agree that doctorow could dispense with his privilege, tone down the smugness and try for less shallow takes once in a while.
