Mr. Graham's article reads like a child's blog post. It's an attempted philosophical appeal with supporting details that consist of pure opinion. I think it can be summarized as an appeal to Paul Graham's authority, were that an established logical fallacy. Having read a lot of Paul Graham's shit over the years-links in HackerNews, I get the impression that this guy just likes to write for the sake of writing. But it makes me ask: why does his stuff consistently make it to the top of HN? Were it anyone else, the comment section would be rife with the ilk (pardon my unsimple Scottish!) of, "Why does this site not have a valid SSL certificate?"
