Am I genuinely too stupid for this book? I don't understand WTF is going on

i don't think you're too stupid for it i think you're just expecting some kind of map is not the territory bullshit that is actually entirely up to other people

>>25251283Genuinely the most dogshit book I've ever read. It started out good but halfway through, idk man, Heinlein just had a fucking stroke or something because holy fuck he derailed this shit hard.
>>25253219hear hearI've never read a more obvious author self-insert and lecture before
>>25251283Just a bitter old whitey preaching to the already convinced.>>25253219>>25253451Oh, it got even worse in the 70s and 80s.
The reason elon named his ai grok. Probably also the reason he emailed epstein a million times to visit his island.

>>25253451>a more obvious author self-insertI would like to introduce you to pic related
>>25253073>says the incest fetishist
>>25252167Seriously. What is OP's deal?
"Stranger ..." is Heinlein's riff on the Mormon Church -- Michael instead of Joseph, the sacrosanct temple, and "Thou art God." Of course, plebs like Elon Musk think "Grok" is what it's all about.
>>25255306It's his competition with LRH to build a religion. Scientology is somehow less retarded than the religion Heinlein came up with.
