### And Now For Something Completely Different - I just noticed you are
reading and commenting on the Unsong!

A most uproariously complex and multi-level intellectually entertaining
prose, shading into poetry, isn't it? And morally uplifting to boot!

What amazes me is that Scott (or whatever his name is), while being a good
atheist, exhibits such a nuanced command of the holy books. A true
Renaissance intellect who engages SJWs in ruthless combat.

Extropians, if you haven't read the Unsong, do it now.
