      I read this when it came out and even then my first thought was that someone got paid to write this shit.

        So you never actually read the book, but you’re spouting an opinion about the book?

        I thought I left shit like this on reddit.

        If you get your opinions from podcasts, your opinion is invalid. Read the source material.

          especially ironic since it’s a post about spreading misinformation for free.

          It’s really not that serious.

            The book about sentient apes spreads misinformation for Exxon?

            I read the book a few decades ago, and I don’t remember that part.

              Amy (signing): Bad monkey! Don’t demonstrate the benefits of Solomon’s geothermal powered mine that can be scaled to meet the needs of modern energy infrastructure! Bad! Oil good! Exxon good!

              You don’t remember this part?
