    At the risk of being NSFW.

    When I met Yud some years ago, I asked him how he goes about learning new things, his answer was roughly: “Scroll on Facebook until I find someone who has written about it.” Maybe he actually read some of the sources he references a long time ago but I think he gave up on learning new things and has sat comfortably abusing his power over the community.

    Egads these people are gross.
