The author of the article is following the lazy and tired "Point at that hippie and laugh" formula, complete with a "Right on, man" ending. Maybe that's expected for a mainstream publication like Businessweek?
Other than that, the article is interesting.

- forgottenpass 12y agoIt's the norm when writing about someone in a group that is socially acceptable to openly deride. The only bit unique to Businessweek is that their editorial voice serves a market that accepts this flavor of derision. The difference between your standards and theirs is the only reason this stood out at all.
