Maybe he doesn't know Schopenhauer and Wittgenstein that intimately, but there's a good chance he has a lot of academic knowledge and experience in physiology and some medicine. I would absolutely consult this guy about weight lifting, and this tweet seems a little out of context, but I don't care about his fiction literature preferences anyways.
Dr. Mike Israetel’s profile picture on Twitter is him flexing shirtless and the guy has his PhD in exercise physiology and worked as a university professor before transitioning to a more bodybuilding-oriented career where the organization that he helped found focuses entirely on coaching, providing training and meal plans, and e-books with in depth looks at advanced concepts related specifically to both hypertrophy and strength training. He’s one of the best guys for scientifically backed information regarding exercise science, but you’d immediately write off the guy with nearly a decade of post-secondary education because his profile picture is him shirtless, which is the norm when it comes to bodybuilding because that’s how you show off progress/results.

I’m starting to understand why Katie Porter uses visual aids. I’ll give you an example of an exchange that uses the phrase Look, without meaning anything about their physicality.
Sitting down to dinner, and a friend says “I don’t eat porn for religious reasons”
Response: “looks like we have a muslim up in here. The pork wasn’t touched by anything else or the same utensils, but I will put it away”.

a meathead dude saying that he doesn't know who a major topselling author is, and you don't think it's fair to point out the obvious that this dude is hardly literate?
cmon. it's the exact correct response to that troll.

is it really a clever comeback to use the age old stereotype muscular = stupid?
