Man, this guy’s writing must be at a peak.

It was already great when I first read it ~10 years ago. And his linked post about VCs writing extremist manifestos from 2023 is arguably better than this one. But this post is amazing as well.

I wonder how many iterations it takes to remove all the extra words and reach this 0% fat state.

Both articles also brought me to a peak / cliff hanger type of place. The post from 2023 doesn’t even have a follow up!

Though I didn’t like the repetition of the phrase (“cancer capital”) he clearly wants to coin. It’s Trump-like. More importantly, it’s the kind of thing simpletons do. Or people who think of their audience as simpletons.
