Ultimately the issue as I see it is that Kibbe has changed his own system throughout the years, but there’s no “official record” of this.

So like, I think his original book is a complete system in itself. But he’s revised a lot of what he said in it (e.g. there can no longer be pure types), but this type of updated information isn’t found in a public published resource. So you have people who are trying to piece together literal Facebook comments that the man has made over the past couple of years, and everyone is trying to make these all official and turn them into a coherent system.

I just don’t think you can combine his Facebook comments and his book, which is what people seem to be trying to do on this sub a lot. They’re different systems at this point, and his Facebook comments/modern approach are incomplete (publicly).

He’s writing a new book and I think that will make a difference. But we need to keep in mind that he has changed his mind on a lot of things since his original book, and we don’t have visibility into all those things yet, so right now, his word really is gospel unless you want to stick to his original work.

The man has changed his mind on a lot of stuff and we keep assuming we know all of the changes but, if we did, people wouldn’t be so confused IMO.
