Writing a bad take-down of a bad idea is doing a service to the bad idea.

  I enjoy the service you’ve done to the article with this post

  That said, I wouldn't have known about and read (skimmed) the bad idea without the reference via the bad take-down.

  It’s sounds like Andreessen and the Accelerationists are foolishly optimistic and out of touch, but the author seems to be trying his best to make you take their side by offering the worst counter-arguments in the most disingenuous way. Everyone in heaven is an Accelerationist these days. I like to think Sam gave up his crusade and went sailing with Jan and Renfrew.

    Once a Buddha, always a Buddha, Sam.
