Very much agree with this and well said! And the article plays into that, by acknowledging controversy but trying to sweep it into a single playful persona. M

Very much agree with this and well said! And the article plays into that, by acknowledging controversy but trying to sweep it into a single playful persona. My confusion about NM was a bit more specific: intellectual Ventures seems at first glance to specifically disrespect the process of invention, by horse trading with exclusion rights completely divorced from the creation process they are intended to support. Yet Nathan is himself a creator! To your point, maybe he's just the jealous/narcissistic sort, or maybe he just doesn't empathize with folks whose creativity includes execution.
