Insulting people as shit slinging monkeys and quibbling about yet unknown iotas reads like a transparent deflection from losing the argument. Look, I agree that outrage signalling and unsubstantiated imputation of value systems on specific people are generally toxic -- but how does this help? To any normal person not caught up in some weird startup death cult the quotes proffered suggest that Max Levchin is probably not about maximizing your physical and mental health at expense to your economic output. This seems fair to point out, even if it could have been formulated better.

Since you agree with this, we agree on the only thing I'm arguing for. What helps is (a) not doing it, (b) trying not to do it, and/or (c) being conscious that one is doing it— in that order.
