The Bezos half feels like its being shoehorned into an existing worldview, while the Milner half feels like its just flat out misunderstood.
Bezos is Bezos I'm not going to comment on that, but I definitely get the impression that the author has done zero research into Milner's other efforts.
Yuri genuinely thinks science can push humanity forward, he's putting a pile of money into science projects with little expectation of clear success and his manifesto just comes across as earnest and "humanist" if a little naive if you ask me (the universal story is a natively humanist concept that implicitly paves over the details by way of trying to build a single view of everything when many topics contain two diametrically opposed views that may not be reconcilable)...
It feels like the author has some decent points about Bezos and an axe to grind, and will level that axe at anyone that associates with him.
