15. I want whatever he is smoking!

That guy is so full of shite the whites of his eyes just turned brown!

He said that seeing the truth is boring and depressing so we should vote for a metamodern thought experiment named Bernie Sanders because universal wavelength function means that anything is possible! And then he name-drops David Foster Wallace, who would have been nauseated by the tortured mess he just published.

"I’ve been a metamodernist creative writer for many years now, but had not seen an opportunity to bring this earnest, optimistic, and loving art practice into my professional writing activities until Bernie Sanders came along." AKA "I have just been making shit up all along and y'all have been silly enough to buy it"

Which in all fairness is what pundits do all the time anyway.

So when is HA Goodman going to 'fess up to his hallucinatory, post-postmodern confabulations?
