I just want to point out that this guy is also the author of The Gervais Principle[1], a 4-part saga that offers an incisive, brilliant and depressingly accurate analysis of the human psyche as it applies to workers in a corporation. It's probably the most awesome thing I've ever read in blog format, and I'm looking forward to reading this essay.

It looks like the site is supported by donations, which I just did.

Venkatesh is entirely supported by book sales (Tempo) and blog donations: he doesn't have regular income nowadays.

Venkat's essays have helped me understand memetic grooming in a new context
