What Is
A Stick of Dynamite in the American Elite
?
Introduction
1. “So—I heard you wrote a book on Twitter?”
2. Yeah. I’m trying to prove something about the United States.
3. “What’s that?”
4. That we’re living in a Dystopia.
5. “You sure you’re not just trying to prove something about yourself?”
6. Bingo.
7. “You sound like a wise guy.”
8. I’m better than you ever even knew.
9. “Prove it. Take it all off. Show us everything. Bare your soul.”
10. I can’t. But I can show you what you already know.
11. “Eh, why should I listen to you?”
12. Because I got a little something for everyone.
13. “Bro—I got
work
to do, stop clownin’. Please don’t give me any more work to do.”
14. I won’t. I’m giving the future more work to do. I just need you to talk about it first.
15. “Talk about what?”
16. The world right here in front of us.
17. “What are you talking about? I talk about it every day.”
18. I want you to talk about an uncomfortable truth.
19. “Oh for the love of God, who the hell do you think you are?”
20. A messenger from God.
21. “Deleted. Blocked. Bye.”
22. This is going to be harder than I thought.
23. “First of all, if you were worth paying any attention to—why aren’t you famous?”
24. So that’s the only way to get a message out there, huh?
25. “This is a deranged wet dream of r/iamverysmart and r/im14andthisisdeep.”
26. No. It’s a message from God.
27. “Has your work been celebrated by any powerful people? If so, I want names.”
28. This is going to sound cocky, but I don’t think they’re going to get it as well as you do.
29. “As well as
I
do?”
30. You don’t have as many reasons not to believe it.
31. “It’s important to feel seen. But I don’t know if I want every part of me to be seen so clearly.”
32. Wisdom says we’re all rainbows. I forgive every color you don’t emit.
33. “What do you mean America’s a dystopia? Isn’t it just a work in progress, like everywhere else?”
34. A Dystopia can only be measured by its Ideals—there’s no other way.
35. “Who are you, Confucius?”
36. I’m better than you ever even knew—I’m Confucius in the Age of McDonald’s.
37. “America has a problem, doesn’t it.”
38. It sure as fuck does, bitch.
39. “Why are you doing this man? You seem too smart for this kinda stuff.”
40. I’m not.
41. “Tell me two truths and a lie.”
42. I’ll do you one better. I’ll tell you 42 truthful coincidences I found in modern pop culture.
43. “Coincidences, huh? So that’s what this book boils down to—an online scavenger hunt?”
44. Only in the real world. I want to send the future of humanity on a quest to find God.
45. “What, is He lost or something?”
46. She.
47. “Man, who the fuck do you think you are? Do you have any idea what you’re exposing yourself to here?”
48. I do.
49. All too well.
50. “All right—I might be into this. But man, you gotta show me some of these riddles first.”
