I believe one of the challenges facing modern societies is being influenced by these kinds of rando bloggers. (I totally ripped Cunt Yarvin to shreds with AI before, pretty sure there's the screenshot somewhere.. Later.)
Those who aren't easily brainwashed don't even bother reading such shallow armchair sociology/philosophy books. They read more fundamental works instead.
For Silicon Valley to regain the INNOVATION it had in the past, I mean, before the PayPal Mafia took over, it needs to break free from this unpleasant circle of humanities cosplay fake (self-proclaimed) "intellectuals".
As someone from a STEM background who performed significantly better in the field of humanities, I want to say this: don't need to be swayed by the salesman-like eloquence of humanities/liberal arts majors.
WORDS ARE EASY and they cannot normally accomplish anything practical in the STEM field.
I hope the real nerds, the ones who major in STEM and are genuinely happy pulling all-nighters for research in labs, reclaim their rightful position. Not these *influencers* who leech off their connections with tech billionaires. I'm not just talking about this author, but about that entire circle full of fraudsters. If we expand further, it all traces back to Peter Gay, the root cause of this misguided roadmap for the tech world.
I’m fortunate that I already developed personal perspectives in my childhood, shaped by self-learning across all kinds of fields, to the point where I am not influenced by these kinds of superficial book sellers.
Meanwhile, I am deeply ashamed to have been born into an era where this bunch of obvious bullshit is sold as books rather than casually discussed with friends at the pub and this is what is called humanities or sociology.
