30. Even given the brevity of my encounter, he demonstrated symptoms of being psychotic.

For instance, the book he gave me was The Gulag Archipelago. Which is one of the greatest non-fiction books ever written. But somehow Anderson took it not just as an indictment of Sovietism but also a condemnation of the very concept of humanism. To read something so deeply into a book which clearly never makes such an argument is an indication that his psyche is pretty unstable.

He sees the enemy everywhere. That enemy is anyone not as malevolent and repressed as the God of the Old Testament.
