@augustus also forgot his name but google delivered
-
@Moon @lain @augustus he's pretty cute and likes churches and stuff...becoming old and not "the smartest person", but was always genuine
-
@augustus @lain > "a stupid person's idea of what a smart person is like"Interestingly I saw someone today say that Elon Musk was a stupid person's ("crypto-bros") idea of what a smart person is like. I never really thought of Musk's success being because he was the smartest person in the room, but I guess in contrast to Stephen Fry he's the richest person in the world.but yeah smug atheism is shit-tier
-
@Moon @lain on Stephen Fry? I don't think about him, he's just a boilerplate liberal humanist who is annoying as fuck and makes smug disingenuous arguments. he has like Stephen Colbert levels of influence here and i'm not in the main demographic of his fans. also there is a genre of twitter account i follow that relentlessly memes on him and the rest of his "britpopper" generation. Peter Hitchens called him "a stupid person's idea of what a smart person is like"

@augustus @lain I'm interested in your thoughts, if you have the inclination
-
@Moon @lain the devil is very much in the details with him, behind his public facing charm and affability. also I love USA just not the regime
-
@augustus @lain for what it's worth, and I know you don't have a great love for the USA, but he did a series of television documentaries about American states that are wonderful.
-
@lain he is a "national treasure" here (also his mother was j*wish)(not that that has anything to do with him being gay, bipolar or hostile to christianity)

@Moon @augustus @lain was only hitchens guy who'd just get drunk and say dumb, incoherent stuff as snarkily as possible
