That's cool. Still, I had a difficult time stomaching the exposition, though...all this "our harsh cruel capitalist world stifled me so I took a journey within..." (and then made some neat toys, apparently). It honestly feels very spoiled and self-righteous.

Yeah... no comment.

I kind of gave him somewhat of a pass on the insufferability just because he's so young. I'm sure that I was at least a little like that when I was 24 too.

The entire article has that tone, like many of the VC/FAANG/techie articles about "focusing on the tangible". Every single one reads like someone who re-discovers their own humanity through the privilege of being obscenely wealthy. This one started out with a visit to the Met by someone who recently quit their job....... I'm as sick as capitalism as the next human but if you are that wealthy maybe contribute to charity or work for a non-profit that helps the poorest among us, people who can't wander the Met for inspiration on their non-existent frivilous, to escape their harsh capitalist reality.

If you think the problem with America isn't a class problem and you have FAANG-money, you need to rethink it.

All that said, it is a neat-ish project if not my aesthetic.
