GEB is crucial reading in that if you want to appear intellectually superior all you have to do is sprinkle “Ho ho! Much like the eternal golden braid I must say!” into conversation and no one will call you out on it or ask you to extrapolate (or if in the off chance that they do, you can say anything and still get away with it)
The best response to someone bringing up GEB in casual conversation is to look them dead in the eye and simply say “I have also read that book.”
This will instantly create palatable tension and a change of topic
