I'm the guy who wrote the article. I just came across this conversation and I have to say that you folks have touched on a ton of really interesting elements that I didn't have the space to write. Overall, I agree with a ton of what I'm reading here and the critiques are also mostly fair. I just joined so that I could thank you all but I'd be happy to answer specific questions if anyone would like. Honestly, this is one of the most thoughtful discussions about the article I've come across. Thanks!
