Extremely interesting (to me) take on truth, fiction, nonfiction, fact, accuracy, art, lies that speak truly, truth that lies, etc.

That was a really interesting read. At several points, I felt contradictory. I was both for and against this man, thinking him both a genius and a total shitbag. But I guess that's always what happens when someone steps out of what is "socially acceptable." After all, I don't think he's technically breaking any laws.
Being able to entertain and articulate contradictory ideas and feelings is a sign of education, personal depth, and what John Keats called negative capability.
I'll take that as a compliment. Aside from that and aside from the fact that you found this "interesting," what is your take on how this is being played out in the public eye? Also, what are your personal feelings on the subject?
