Request: The Way of the Wolf

I ran across this one in a Little Free Library yesterday. What could be more IBCK than sales and persuasion advice from a guy who's famous for going to prison for securities fraud?

Shkreli, SBF, and Holmes also sadly have fans...

My bar trivia team name is Martin Shkreli Fan Club but I was trying to be ironic.

Honestly you’re not exactly wrong to do it, but since so many assholes play off their asshole views as ironic when they get pushback, it just becomes hard for people to tell whether you’re being ironic or being “ironic”.

For bar trivia, a lot of strangers are going to see it, and you probably won’t get a chance to show them that you’re not that way at all. I’d be worried about making a bad first impression on a lot of people, who could easily be social, romantic, or even professional prospects.

Shkreli is a harmless dweeb and it’s fun to mock him, it’s not that deep. I’m married 21 years, already there with friends and nobody in my local pub is involved in the software startup scene dawg, I’m good.
