Last time I saw a pg blog post on here there was a lengthy discussion about whether it belonged on HN. One of the comments was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21894583 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21894583 On one hand, you gotta hand it to pg (insert dril tweet about not having to “hand it” to anyone). According to his own writing, he knew he was in danger of sliding into something he didn’t want to be. On the other hand, he expressed in his own writing he knew he was in danger of sliding into something he didn’t want to be, but he doesn’t seem to have adapted. For the record I don’t have any feelings on pg as a person. Like everyone else his history is a mixed bag. Just saying: to me, his writing often seems to emanate from a place where his empathy for others & technocapitalist value system are having an argument he doesn’t hear. Again, not a knock on pg’s skill as a writer or worth as a person. We all have blind spots. I just think that’s his, and we’ve entered an age where patience for people who dwell in that blind spot is running very thin.
