Ask Boylan Anything

Post by Tapir Rodeo »

Does someone want to bite the bullet and join this AMA so they can ask Bobert a question? Maybe something like, "why did you get fired from B.H. Roberts?" Or perhaps, "why is your behavior so antisocial?" Or even, "why are a lolcow?" Any takers?

He only wants questions from 18 year old missionary boys who are impressionable and don’t know he’s a loser.

The sound quality is so bad, it sounds like it was recorded in a tin can.

I love how he haphazardly tossed all those books in the corner instead of A) getting a bookshelf or B) piling them neatly. We need to start a gofundme to get Bobert a bookshelf.

It’s supposed to look impressive and frenetic, like he just reads a book every 10 minutes since he’s so smart and such an intellectual powerhouse.

The problem is that he’s not able to synthesize any of that work into a cohesive thesis. They remain scattered disparate facts unconnected by any narrative or purpose. His claim that Mormonism is justified by and cohesive with scripture remains completely undefended.

I don't even think he reads them. My guess is he buys a book he knows has something in it he can add to his quote mine. Once he has the book he looks at the index for the topic he wants, he skims it for quotes, then he throws the book on the pile. That is the only way he could "read" so many books and still possess such rudimentary arguments and understandings.

Isn't this poor guy back to living with his parents, or something? It seems quite possible that there simply isn't space is his teenage room for a bookshelf, and stuffing books in that corner is the only way he can keep them off the floor.

Based on past videos it appears he has been living with his parents for his entire life with the one exception being the year and a half he lived in the US before he lost his job, due to his reprehensible behavior, and had to go back to Ireland. Boylan is almost forty years old, plenty of time to get a bookshelf and find a place for it. The book pile is a part of his brand and strategy to impress young men, like drumdude said.
