closing out the last section of the book with death, entropy, and thwarted ambitions:
- Why David Deutsch wouldn't approve of Houellebecg
- True artists impose their vision upon the world
- Sacred values and euthanasia
- Should kanye get back on his meds
Not sure why the audio cuts off abruptly at the end but it does feel appropriate
