Yes. V anti-philosophy. Doing this in the UK with my wife, we are always amused by its understandable US bias: lollygag, doodad, Mexican flora, things Hawaian. While it won’t accept many common Britishisms and will accept one term that is highly offensive here, but presumably not in US!
Apparently, “ontic” is not a word. @bonniehonig.bsky.social @annakornbluh.bsky.social

I have long been a, well not a fan as such, but an avid and intrigued reader of Christian Kracht. His vision of the world is disturbing but once you have seen it, you just can’t look away! Great to see his book doing so well now in English.
