This essay was nearly impenetrable for me, so I suspect I'm nowhere near educated enough in the humanities to understand his book.

This zinger really stood out to me:

"The only appropriate use of social media, beyond simple announcements of personal milestones or professional engagements, is shitposting. It is a medium that deserves nothing earnest, and that can facilitate no real project of social betterment."

Unfortunately I think the shitposting is being digested and regurgitated by web3 cultists as the "real project".
