[nevermore]

In case you read the entire article before looking at the author, this is by mchurch so you should take everything it says with a huge crazy egotistical grain of salt. Personal vendettas and hyperbole abound.

I don't think it's true that all non-execute corporate jobs are meaningless, and I've worked at at least one company that mchurch has. Some jobs at some (many?) companies are actually slowly and methodically creating value for humanity at large, and many bosses I've had are not soulless whip-bearers but in fact also determined to make their lives mean something through their work.

That being said I think it does levy some specific good criticisms against PG and silicon valley. It's definitely true that PG has a conflict of interest in his postings, and that the narratives about society that he pushes also happen to be ones that he benefits financially from. It's very fair to compare his views to Ayn Rand's. And it's certainly true that tech and science reporting aren't held to nearly the same ethical standards that other types of reporting are.

Some good points and food for thought, but don't lose too much sleep over another mchurch rant.
