Nisi Shawl is one of the grifters upheld for diversity, equity, and inclusion in science fiction, and she has a dream now of creating a philosophy book to “help everyone,” which she’s taken to GoFundMe to try to get produced, as it’s clear this book will not succeed in the general market.
Yeah, the anonymous 5k donor is probably her cousin, to whom she gave $5k and asked to buy the highest tier. Oldest trick in the book - if one can even call such simple tactic a trick. Every lunatic out there with the most ridiculous Kickstarter project imaginable first gets a stooge to "buy" a top tier package to get the ball rolling. The simplest street con artist can do way better than this.
"Oh, look, we're almost there - give me your money, it's safe!" and "The rich and successful are supporting me and my next big thing - why aren't you?" may work on a few particularly weak and terminally gullible, but not many, I would think.
Nisi supports themself tenuously by their books and by lecturing and teaching writing. They are willing to spend time and energy on this project, but can't afford to do that without some financial backing. So this fundraiser as been created to enable Nisi's friends and readers to fund the book directly themselves.
And that right there is why I want no part of her confused philosophy book, or any book she writes.
I just looked at her fundraiser, and it seems that she has almost made her goal. I want to thank you all for this information and to let know that I have donated to this goal. And due to your article, I will be sending her go fund me to everyone that i know so that she will make goal plus some.
Why haven't African natives still yet developed steam power?
Oh no don't ask questions! haha
It takes intelligence to make a boiler and hook it to wheels.
The Average intelligence in Africa is 71, as many of them don't finish school.
