People like to admire the author, to see a better version of themselves in the author.... If they find out that image in their head is a lie, they get angy

Well a lot of my favorite authors (and musicians) are terrible people, but I like to admire part of the author, yes.

I didn't have it in my head at the time but it's just made me think of "the salt path"

They left french words in the English vocabulary though I thought?

Krei-se · 2026-09-22T13:02:44

it's not an artifact, it's thinking out loud guardrails
