This is a blatant attempt to advertise the amazon book link at the bottom of the post. The post itself could have been generated by Markov chain, and is devoid of interesting content and ideas. Downvoting.
Look at the date.
Regardless of date, I don't want to see material like it on LW, as it lowers the general level of discourse.
Oooh I see. Now the post is interesting and worthwhile.
I don't know whether tim is being sarcastic or sincere, but I don't see how the post is funny when treated as an April Fool, nor how it's worthwhile when taken seriously. I wouldn't go so far as to agree that it could have been generated by Markov chain, and some of the things it says are true and worth saying if one can get past the intensely annoying presentation, but I don't see anything here that's new or super-interesting or well expressed, nor do I see any joke beyond "hey, I did an annoying thing and it's April 1".
I may well be missing something. Trevor, if you're reading this and not too offended at the negative reaction you got, it would be interesting to know what effect you were aiming at.
