- greghinch 13y agoI do agree with your sentiments on Tucker Max, but I think the message is worthwhile no matter the messenger. A lot of people need to have this idea hammered in over and over until it sticks. Ironically most of them probably don't read HN.
- jere 13y agoWhat gave it away? Was it tuckermax.me domain before you got to the website, after it loaded, the sidebar bio, or the huge banner at the top?
- obstacle1 13y agoI don't like X, therefore I won't consider X's arguments. That strategy seems like a great way to never learn anything except whatever confirms your own biases.
- bjhoops1 13y agoI didn't say he wasn't right about this. Just regret that I provided traffic to his site.
- goostavos 13y agoThat still makes no sense.
- abawany 13y agoI agree, re. makes no sense; the man wrote a fine article. I have read one of Tucker Max's books and I am not proud to admit it. But this was one heck of a well-written article.
- nsp 13y agoHonestly, outside of the crazy hyperbole leading up to the (terrible) movie, he wrote some good stuff on his old blog, and the assistant he mentions(Ryan holiday) wrote a fascinating book called trust me in lying.
