Also, shouldn't it be "berthed" not birthed?

Interesting, neither Google, nor GPT-4 know anything about that term, outside of TFA.
He clearly made it up during the interview. I admit I spent more time right clicking -> 'search the web' for some of the words he used. Incredible vocabulary.. I have to use 'intellection' soon, I've needed to use a word like that before but couldn't find it.
I obviously need to pay more attention. Thank you very much.
Cheers!

#36A group of people just asked me what verisimilitude was, now I'm excited to come back and tell them about verisimilitudinously.
It's not just similitude. It's veri . Similitude.
I know you're joking but it may confuse people: It's veri (the truth, e.g. verily, verify) + similitude: something that seems like truth, but is not truth - otherwise we'd just call it truth.

> verisimilitudinously
I might say to them that verisimilitudinous is not the usual word (despite the OP). It's the more elegant verisimilar, and thus verisimilarly.

Er why would that be the case. To be unmoored is to be detached from something. So the quote is saying that the destiny of every book is to be detached and read outside the context in which it was written (birthed).
