The classic Cantrill bit about not anthropormphizing Larry Ellison applies to a lot of tech CEOs.
Thing is Larry Ellison doesn't write blog posts acting like he's a philosopher. Some tech CEOs really position themselves as arbiters of culture and it just feels more and more like trying to transfer their tech/business positioning into a cultural one. I do not like it!
