Mark unwisely asked about S3th G0d1n's track record of thinking. Here I present - via Wikipedia - the SETH CANON. Tick at yr peril.

Holy jeez. I picked the ones that I thought were the most demonstrably brain-dead. My assumption is that even the words that I would kind of like to see defined would be just as bad as the obviously dumb stuff, but I think there are probably ways of making something interesting out of "Meatball Sundae," "The Big Red Fez," and "Ideavirus."

haha i like that we're all looking at "linchpin: are you indispensible" and thinkin "now there's an idea i can get behind: YES I AM!!"

The other book with 0 votes so far, Free Prize Inside, is the only SG book I have ever owned. I got about 5 pages in before I could take no more.

The Big Moo: Stop Trying to Be Perfect and Start Being Remarkable is surely the most obnoxious, just for the disconnect between his "now go and achieve, my snowflakes!" tone and the vastly cynical message that "people are dying for any shiny novelty that they can bat at with their little paws and wallets" which the title implies.

At least every word in that title is a real word.

Unlike, say, "Ideavirus".

I think it was the statement "The Mona Lisa is an ideavirus" that caused me to unsubscribe from Seth Godin's blog.

Also: Tom E's righteous anger has been located again! :D
