Most of his fans have never really read his more academic works (like the one with the grandma sex dream). So, I guess they like his vibe. But his vibe is weepy alcoholic. What's so great about that?

I recently had a fairly high fever and became pretty emotional over absolutely mundane shit. JBP talks and acts like has a brain damaging fever every day of his life.

I don't know whether he recognizes it but 20 something disenfranchised dudes are uniquely subsceptible to aphorisms without context and if there's one thing JBP does well it's that

He's a university professor. That's their bread and butter. It's a skill they learn to prevent undergrads from nodding off during their lectures.
