I love Infinite Jest, but if anyone brings it up unprompted I get uncomfortable. I probably won’t like them as a person.

Oh wow, that’s a blast from the past. I remember having some high school friends who were obsessed with him. It felt a little gross at the time, but not enough to raise any red flags. I guess I didn’t really understand the difference between him and something like Superbad, for example.

In hindsight, it’s revolting. Sort of an Andrew Tate precursor. I don’t talk to those friends anymore, but I like to think they also find it disgusting now, they weren’t bad people. Happy to say they never treated people like Tucker Max, despite all the talk.
