Straight Boomer Insufferability
Completely unreadable, but not for the reasons you might think. After THE most smug and self aggrandizing chapter of boomer bs I have EVER read, next comes golf and "business" references out the wazoo. Old white man! I don't care! No 1 curr!
My favorite bits of the less than 50% I made it through:
He pitied MY generation because we can't blow up pipe bombs and terrorize otherslike in his gold o!d days. (These kinds of remarks are within stories that he *maybe* thinks could be problematic about his past, but us mostly just presented as boomers boys being hooked boys!)
Bits of bs related to evolutionary psychology sprinkled throughout, red flags everywhere with that nonsense.
Did I mention he was an ACTOR, A FAMOUS IMPORTANT SCIENCE MAN, AND AN AMAZING ATHLETE WHO HAD LITERALLY THE BEST CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE EVER, WHERE WOMEN AND MEN ALIKE LOVED HIM AND HE WAS LITERALLY PERFECT IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY?? No? Well he sure does, for a whole chapter and peppered into literally everything else I got through.
Grossly awkward and casual language used to describe the murderers he worked FOR, comically flippant word choices. EXTREMELY amateur ish writing that screams "hello fellow kids!" Repetition of all the NDAs he has to abide by also seems smugly teasing. "Yeah, I know aaaaaall the juicy details but, tee hee, I'll never tell!" Coy attitude is offputting , especially considering he's referencing extremely upsetting and sensitive things.
This book is proof his claim that 60 is the final age of brain development as that's when wisdom coalesces is complete opinion. (As if living in 2020 hadn't taught us all that anyway, lol.)
Oh please, tell me more about all the completely immoral work you have done for big tobacco, pharmacy companies, our corrupt justice system.
And finally, the one part that made me actually laugh: When he states he became a libertarian as a young man. Of course! What psychopath isn't a libertarian, lolololol. (In the SIXTIES no less. This man is literal garbage.)
So yeah, I don't care if he's a psychopath or not because he fer sure is at least a RAGING narcissist, and it's painfully embarrassing and dull to read about. Interesting book idea, absolute wrong person to make good on it. Though you'd think his complete inability to act, write, think, speak, or behave like a normal human being would actually STRENGTHEN the narrative. Huh. Funny how that works.
