Thank you, Luke. Never too late to comment.

Yeah, I also find some of aphorisms and anecdotes to be quite hilarious. And overall I find the way he trolls and unsettles "normies" to be quite entertaining.

My best guess as to who he really is, is a maybe gay man who has spent a lot of time in American Academia (likely has a PhD by now), has genuine disdain for the liberal establishment, and thus devotes his moonlight hours to trolling them. Oh and he probably likes to hit the gym a lot too. He also may be of a foreign background (perhaps somewhere from Eastern Europe), but grew up in the US.

One useful thing I think he's done is present a stark, realistic look at the social reality of antiquity; as opposed to the highly-romanticized or wokewashed version we get via the pop-culture and academic lamestream today.
