Just browsed some of that and it’s almost sickeningly sycophantic. Technology is very soon going to outstrip the productivity of the human mind so people need to step away from the great leader and visionary model of human history and trying to secure a legacy and embrace non hierarchical systems.

Also hate it when people try to be profound by grasping at the quickest and easiest analogy:

“kids sort of are a bit you. At least they’re half you. They’re half you at the hardware level, and depending on how much time you have with them, they’re that percentage of you at the software level."

‘Did you miss me?’
‘Actually my life operated smoothly in your absence so I will say only very slightly’.
