Pretty clear the author was being disingenuous about a few things. He claims to have known of only 2 incidences of his book being used in violent acts before talking to the filmmaker, which I find really hard to believe. It seemed there was a media account in the 80s and 90s every couple of months where some kind of horrible act was linked to book. Even if he was in some tiny country in Africa, I find it hard to believe some of the info wouldn't have gotten back to him. He then claims that he now finds the book morally reprehensible, but clearly did very little to remedy the situation. He's clearly a quality human being now and doing a lot of good, I just kinda find his excuses/defense strange.
He eventually just says, "I'm not responsible for shit other people do with the information." Which is perfectly legitimate.
Yeah, I have absolutely no interest. I haven't even watched the trailer. But then I heard all these chumps talking about how surprising and "genre-bending" it is. I just assumed everyone was gonna go ape shit and love the hell out of it.
