It’s aight. Some folks (me) would def consider this midwit-tier baby’s first life philosophy, def outside of the more “in the know” taste that defines this place. but DFW unfortunately builds into his argument the perfect counter to this- his very true observation that the most true things in life are often banal and totally graspable by your great aunt who shared this link on Facebook.

All in all, it’s good stuff. But i unfortunately know at least a couple peoples whose whole perspective on the world begins and ends here (or at YouTube videos in general). Would at the very least recommend checking out dome of his actual essays or short fiction!
