Bad Poetry Appreciation Thread
A thread idea that keeps living rent-free in my head
This is a collection of poems from Lex Fridman. He has a podcast interviewing (mostly) technocrats, scientists and influencers. For maximum appreciation of his bad poetry, watch this video. He has interviewed a lot of people including Noam Chomsky, Sam Altman (ChatGPT guy), Kanye West, and Neal Stephenson. He usually asks questions like "Can you steelman X?", "What is the meaning of life?", "What is love?" Here is his poetry collection supposedly written when he was 31.

"Tell me how you want to die, and I'll tell you who you are. In other words, how do you fill out an empty life? With women, books, or worldly ambitions? No matter what you do, the starting point is boredom, and the end self-destruction. The emblem of our fate: the sky teeming with worms. Baudelaire taught me that life is the ecstasy of worms in the sun, and happiness the dance of worms."
---Tears and Saints, E. M. Cioran
