perhaps you have a deep, yawning hole inside of yourself and it helps distract you for a moment from that fact? that's why i still read comment sections

I would mock you but I've done enough hate-reading in the last month that I would be mocking from a big ol' glass house. I don't know why hate-reading is a thing but we all have our weaknesses.

One of the few people who blocked me on Twitter. I never replied or QTed him but I did once reference him in a tweet with a typo that called him twee that I then jokingly referenced. He must have searched his name and decided my typo was blockworthy.

I don’t know. I find him superficial and glib, and therefore often just dumb. Plus he has his head up his ass.

Clearly it's his irreverent, but trenchant, skewering of his fellow experts.

TL;DR: area opinion-have and noted Balaji-friend think Trump v. U.S. isn’t such a big deal, Trump’s inevitable victory won’t have much impact on domestic politics, and it’s just a bunch of leftist fear-mongering. Thank you for the expert insights, sir.

Smith is good on economics. He does the reading, and is good at analyzing strengths and weaknesses, and also summarizing for a non-technical readership. Unfortunately, the pressures of the pundit lifestyle incentive him to go beyond his domain of competence.
