  • The entire tone of the interview shifts at 4:23.

  • He doesn't seem to believe in himself. He spouts his opinions and subjective assumptions but always asks the interviewer what she thinks in order to attain reassurance. Someone who is truely confident and believes in themselves is not worried by what other people think. He is insecure but he is very logical and humble. Next book I'm going to read is "Infinite Jest".

  • @ohfoolishworkerbee Oh realy? Now that's interesting.

  • @superduperbard Yeah if only he had more depth as a reader he would have not suffered the consequences of an incurable illness. You really think he had not read Marx? Tell us more about how you liked his footnotes real good.

  • capitalism. He should've read more Marx. It might have saved him.

  • it is a fine interview.  It is hardly perfect. I like it better than his prose. but not as good as his footnotes.

  • @TheShannon76 you're a stupid cunt
