Finally finished this behemoth, there are some interesting concepts but nothing that was really new to me. The casual writing style was very hard for me: asides within asides within asides; lots of "humorous" anecdotes without connection to the point; and an utterly random organization structure. I could not even begin to write a summary outline, and I'm left with the impression that he had violent outbursts every time an editor suggested ways to communicate more clearly. Most bizarre was the author's constant contempt and condescending to his reader, as if a hostile dedicated materialist would ever pick this up 🤣

If anyone is interested in this, don't read it. The author has created an "AI Guy" that can explain the concepts in a fraction of the time.
