When I read or listen to Muratori, I almost certainly agree with most of the substance of what he is saying. It's just that he has the most disagreeable way of making his point.

I think it's helpful to think of nearly all the content produced by Muratori and Blow as a branding exercise. They want you to think they are enfant terrible style geniuses who represent the vanguard of the profession. As silly as their strawmen are, this frame of "civilization is in decline because it fails to recognize my unique genius" is much more silly, and makes each video/rant seem both one note and self aggrandizing.
