Embarrassing. This tripe gets published on The Economist these days?
A piece on the fitness trend in SV without the trash psychoanalysis would have been somewhat interesting.
- thesimpsons1022 10y agosad actually because the economist is a good publication otherwise
- bllguo 10y agoexactly, that was my impression. Now I'm not so sure.
- n00b101 10y agoCould it be related to Pearson PLC selling off its 50% equity stake in The Economist Group in Aug 2015 for £469m?
- seizethecheese 10y agoHighly unlikely. Pearson PLC is a publicly traded company whereas the buyers of the equity stake are private families. The families are a lot more likely to act in a way that maximizes long term value over short term profit than Pearson.
- ConfuciusSay02 10y agoIf by good publication you mean establishment propaganda then you'd be right. You just need to look at what the Economist was pushing in the lead up to the Iraq war and the 2008 meltdown.
- serg_chernata 10y agoFunnily enough, at the same time I've seen some really nice pieces coming out of Buzzfeed as of late.
- vannevar 10y agoNot to mention the assumption that all of Silicon Valley nerd-dom is run exclusively by men.
