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.

Good video overall, despite some misattributions.
Biggest point I disagree with: "He could have started a cult, but he didn't"
Now I get that there's only so much Toxic exposure to Yud's writings, but it's missing a whole chunk of his persona/æsthetics. And ultimately I thing boils down to the earlier part that stange did notice (via echo of su3su2u1): "Oh Aren't I so clever for manipulating you into thinking I'm not a cult leader, by warning you of the dangers of cult leaders."
And I think even expect his followers to recognize the "subterfuge".
