I thought it was really good, probably the best book I read last year, and I plan on re-reading it again this year. I really enjoy Lindsay and Pluckrose I think what they are doing is super important.

I used to read their Twitters, because I admired their expose of the madness of academia, but now I think they're both self- important twerps. But they are still actively making a difference exposing some of the craziness of the Over-Woke, so I tolerate them.

I've never really been into Twitter. But I have checked out Lindsay's from time to time and he is a little absurd on there.

I would agree that he is self-important, he is one of those people who assume they know better than everyone else. But his website is a nice resource, and there isn't anyone doing a better job than him and Helen at exposing this stuff.

Yes, one has to take the good with the bad with them, and they have done a tremendous amount of good work exposing all the craziness.
