I Don't !@#@$&* Know

When guys like this write stuff like this, I feel like I've been asleep at the wheel the entire time.

Sometimes I'm not sure if they do it just to get hits on their blogs/books/TV shows/etc. or if they really are as ridiculously eccentric as they appear to be. If the former, all the more power to you. You remind me of an unamusing Glen Beck, and nobody was really taking you seriously in the first place. You're a no-count.

If the latter, please, stop. Go home. Stay inside and unplug the router. Your 'hit' books were a waste of time, anyway. Your writing style is no fun to read, and the only person more confused than each of your ardent followers is yourself.

My criticism stems from reading books and articles from 'professionals' like the guy above, not just this particular article. Specifically, their writing style and subject matter is so aberrant that it's annoying. Reminds me of economists and sociologists that claim they'll have you "looking at the world totally anew after you hear/read this!" Except, I never do. I only become more cynical about working with these total narcissists in the future, and maybe accidentally reading three or less words from them again.

Maybe I'm just not the kind of reader I need to be to stomach their silliness. I've always liked textbooks and straight facts focused on a subject, not books on how to get my kids to do the dishes and where I should eat at in New York, both in the same book.

Maybe I'm dumb. Honestly, I really think it might be this one. So many people have wet dreams about guys like this; what's my problem?
