Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Sorry my nootropics regime doesn’t allow me to read books,

this is an entire type of person and I keep meeting instances of them

Well, I think that any self improvement group when going on long enough will run out of ideas and will go into 'we should do book summaries and then read them to each other so we can optimize the amount of books we read'. So it went a bit from there. It is a scary odd pattern, where they all hype knowledge (esp in a reactionary way, so 'the old books'(which those are is left to the reader)), but refuse to actually read full books.
