It doesn't much matter. Any time any of PG's writing, recommendations or accomplishments come up here, someone jumps in with the same generic warning against idolizing PG and derails the entire thread.
Not only do I disagree with the idea that there's something wrong with taking opinions from very successful people, it leads to an incredibly boring discussion.
- DoreenMichele 6y agoI'm suggesting that language concerning how it is framed can help move that out of the way. It's a thing I've thought a lot about. There's no perfect solutions, but that doesn't mean nothing at all can be done to mitigate such things.
- AlchemistCamp 6y agoIf I agreed with the premise that his recommendations have no value, I'd probably look for framing solutions, too. Since I do value the recommendations of some people over a simple aggregated popularity score, I'm more interested in how to effectively communicate how unhelpful derailing every PG-related thread is.
