I don't generally read anything Thermidor publishes besides Smythe, Gio, and Carlsbad. Is it good?

It's a decent grappling with the issues though I'm obviously on Neoabsolutism's side.

OK, I'll read it then. I really wish the book they're talking about was on libgen or
#bookz. I really need to do the private tracker grind into Bib one of these days.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

If that's ALL reading does to you, count yourself lucky. I was recently rereading Chesterton's Father Brown stories, and his satire of contemporary mystery series unpleasantly reminded me that this character existed.pic.twitter.com/Vab72joNSn

It's uncanny how much this prefigures the contemporary bugman. It's all SCIENCE! and LOGIC! Fucker even has a dentistry degree (?!) because more education = betterer. I'm convinced that Futrelle had a time machine and used it to query Reddit on how to write a detective story.

Oh yes, the proto-Tysons were totally into it, even though it's literally BBC-Sherlock-tier. All of these people aping Sir Arthur Conan Doyle forgot that Holmes trained in martial arts in addition to his knowledge. The character was a renaissance man, not a fucking nerd.pic.twitter.com/hssUlyYU1U

Anyway, this is what Chesterton had to say about this kind of redditardation. It's great.pic.twitter.com/ST2ALcAI1g
