I glance at his blog on my RSS reader...he likes to talk and can talk intelligently. My (layperson) gist is that his economist posts are middling at best, but he is a decent consumer of art and culture at least
- borroka 5y agoYou make a good point, but I'd like to add an adverb: he can speak in a seemingly intelligent way about many topics. Also, he is mostly a commentator, which is much easier than be a "creator" of something tangible, he is never put on the spot by anybody because he is TC and he has quick obscure comebacks that are challenging to address, like "I like Vietnamese cuisine", and he comes back with "but how has it changed since Vietnam moved to a more capitalistic society?". I mean, how come you answer that? I am not hating on TC, he is a brilliant man, but for the life of me after his interviews (both as an interviewer and interviewee), I cannot remember a damn thing.
