I feel funny calling all of this out because it probably gives the impression that I didn't like the article. But I actually loved it. Rao always has a really fun way of weaving his thoughts together.

At that point I skimmed the rest of the article because I didn’t feel the foundations it was built on were sound. I agree though, it is fun when he pulls some disparate shit together into a coherent whole out of nowhere but this one didn’t do it for me.
