It’s a painfully dumb piece to the point that it’s hard to even nod along with the parts I agree with, because they’re so poorly-argued. There are paragraphs that are at-odds with the one right before, and not, apparently, on purpose.
If it’s not AI written from a much-shorter prompt then I don’t know how this came to be. Writing on a big dose of uppers then not re-reading before posting? It’s an amateurish mess.
I can’t imagine how this bad, obliviously-derivative, name-dropping-while-citing-misunderstood-ideas like a college freshman, bit of writing, could promote productive conversation, unless we want to do a deep-dive critique of it so folks can better learn how not to embarrass themselves with very-public internet posts.

- lazzlazzlazz 3y agoI already liked the piece, but the cynicism on display here makes me like it better. It may have struck a nerve, which is usually a positive indicator that a set of ideas is hitting something in the zeitgeist. The ideas aren't misunderstood. But then again, you didn't give any specifics. :)
