re: #31 ipsos

I’ve asked several times and have yet to hear from anyone who’s actually read Chuck’s Coolidge “book” and can testify to what it contains.

Because (a) it’s pretty hard to believe that the guy who wrote all those incoherent GoutNews posts could actually produce something even vaguely readable as a book, and (b) damned if I’m going to be the first one to actually buy the thing and try to read it.

From what I remember from reading the back and forths on his and other blogs at the time at Claremont-McKenna, it was his senior “thesis,” and it didn’t win the best thesis prize, but was noted as being the longest one ever turned in. Somebody, somewhere wrote something about how upchuck couldn’t even do a very good job of defending it when presented.

So there’s that. (will try to find the relevant entries.)
