So you are under the belief that the written output of one man born in 1564 was of greater quantity than all “good” writing prior to his time? Are you sure you thought this through?

no i am not under the belief of anything other than mentioning PG in a slightly bad light will get me downvotes or a ban on this platform.

I am not a huge fan of PG and I seriously doubt that had anything to do with your downvotes.
It is not PG, it is your sneering and arrogant attitude that attracts downvotes.
I haven't downvoted you, but if I did, it would be for the tone of your comments alone. I don't care about PG one way or another, but I am sick of the total level of glibness on the Internet, and while I gave up on mainstream social media, I would prefer HN to stay a little bit friendlier and less toxic than Twitter or Reddit.
thank you for not downvoting me. i am less arrogant than you think
i am a true effective altruist. hahahahaha
