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.

I feel like he's also broadly misunderstood the actual armchair diagnosis from over here. Like, no acknowledgement of claims that he's stuck in a broken and obviously false framing of the entire world as "popular jocks" vs "put-up on nerds" and seems to match literally any conflict into that model to often horrifying results. Even though that was the main thrust of the actual "diagnosis" that he referenced.
Past a certain point I think anyone who doesn't agree with and support him has been fully excluded from the circle of people who can actually get through to him and help. Unfortunately, he's still a public figure, leaving the rest of us with little to do beyond sneering.
Getting love bombed in that rationalist con he went to recently probably didn't help matters.
