Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Hello all. People were very kind when I originally posted the start of this series. I've refrained from spamming you with every part but I thought I'd post to say the very final installment is done.

I got a bit weird with it this time as I felt like I had an infinite amount to say, all of which only barely got to the underlying point i was trying to make. So much that I wrote I also cut, it's ridiculous.

Anyway now the series is done I'm going to move on to smaller discrete pieces as I work on my book about Tech Culture's propensity to far-right politics. I'll be dropping interesting stuff I find, examples of Right Libertarians saying ridiculous things, so follow along if that's your jam.

Thanks for this series. I really enjoyed reading it (even though it reminded me that Yud's Dust-Spec-vs.-Torture bullshit exists which I had successfully banished from my mind).

I remember watching Devs a few years back and I think you put everything I felt about that show into words much better than I ever could have.

I really should have done a full risk assessment before invoking the dust specks mind virus, my apologies.

Thanks for the kind feedback, I'm glad that my thoughts resonated with people. Sometimes I start these things and wonder if I've just analysed my way into a weird construct of my own creation.
