I guess all that is left is to dig into whatever bullshit he put into his self published "Arabiolosis". Judging from his twitter, its probably all fake-self help b.s. with a smattering of right wing bootstrap pulling. Pretty rich coming from an silverspoon heir.

I kinda think this guy has it in him to give a run at being a poor man's Andrew Tate.

I find it fascinating how they're closed on Mondays, ostensibly as a nod to the recurring joke about Garfield hating Mondays. The joke never made sense in the first place, because Garfield is a house cat who of course doesn't have a job and therefor has no reason to feel one way or the other about Mondays, but Jim Davis's brain is made of pure anticomedy so he just shoehorned the joke in on the presumption that readers would enjoy it because they can relate.
“Garfield does not have a job, Garfield does not go to school and every day is the same. Nevertheless every Monday is just a reminder that his life is the same old, same old cycling again and for some reason even though his life is pretty much the same every day on Mondays specifically, awful things tend to happen to him physically.”

the joke is the existential dread intrinsic to a life without purpose.

Any political bias in the book would be pretty irrelevant, since Nathen's 10 Laws to Convert from Feeling Species into Thinking Species make little sense grammatically, logically, or psychologically.

You know in hindsight I'm kind of impressed he managed to finish Arabiolosis and actually open GarfEats without just dropping the idea ceremoniously. Modern Nathen just doesn't have that kind of commitment to his nonsense ideas.

I'm pretty sure the book was his first "project". He was doing speaking engagements almost a decade ago. Imagine some big fortune 500 paying for Nathen as its keynote speaker on some corporate retreat lol.

Hilariously, googling "Nathen Mazri speaker fee" led me to a previously unseen Medium.com article he wrote:
https://medium.com/@nathenmazri/the-rise-of-qmr-the-fall-of-qsr-4649872a454c

and his byline reads "Founder of Egeez App / Author / Public Speaker / Entrepreneur / aka GarfieldEATS Guy 😻"

quote:

A new set of capabilities emerged to re-create, re-structure, and re-build our digital world to become an interconnected society, but interdependent on data, forever, even for the giant tech companies such as Netflix, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, AirBnB and many more codependent on large amount of raw data. Without it, they will seize to exist and so will you!

oh no!

Halfway through the article he just inexplicably shifts gears into an ad for GarfieldEATS with no explanation.

oh my god, and he provides us with the formula for total entertagement (this is huge)

Total Entergagement =

He also makes a point of making sure everyone knows he was 27 in 2019 in this article which is a claim that is dubious at best.

E: Lmao his only other medium article is entitled, "Google Reviews Destroy Young Entrepreneurship". Oh wow this whole thing is gold:

quote:

Harmful reviewers are bullies. They can’t let it go, forgive, forget or just shut up if they have nothing nice to say at all. I would respect a reviewer who says your sauce requires more work or your pizza crust tastes better when thick or balancing a review between a positive and a negative, which gives the review weight, credibility, and respect. We do not flag those! Words may hurt and of course as we now know, they may also cause suicides among bullied teenagers. Shouldn’t freedom of REVIEW on the internet by bloggers, customers, and other users be monitored to increase trust among the readers or potential customers and stakeholders. I can think of a few already, but who do I speak to? Is there an agency, regulated institution or bureau that can enforce such programs and procedures on the internet or do I simply speak to the monopolistic organizations, responsible for impacting our societies immensely such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, or other publishers and media power houses?

Pizzas are round because they cook evenly that way. This is why the Garface pizzas have burnt crust on one side and raw looking crust on the other.

Whereas a lasagna shaped like Garfield's face would bake evenly... and lasagna is Garfield's favorite food.

These basic logical contradictions used to found a brick and mortar business still keep me awake at night.

Anyone remember the app? You could play games or something and it was so bad iirc it was the first fixation when Garfeats was launched.

that shouldn't matter, if you were cooking the pizza properly you'd be spinning it in the oven with your peel anyway lol
