This piece is a little odd for me. I don't understand the logic behind this:

"read Kant and found it to be dense and impenetrable...an AI generated summary would have helped"

followed by "Would it have improved comprehension? No."

Why? Because "research says so."

Wut?

(still waiting for one or more HN commenters to freak out because the article has gasp! multiple em-dashes)

As someone approaching their 50s, I do appreciate your diplomacy. You could have just posted "okay Boomer" or an old man shaking his fist at the sky meme. This essay bothers me for a number of reasons. I missed the em-dashes, because I listen to it, (un?)fortunately. But even in audio, it does sound a bit like AI slop. Essentially, it just reiterates every single short-sellers trope that's been developed over the last few years. And if it is, in fact, a real human being — well, that pretty much tells you all you need to know about America, its think tanks, and the caliber of human beings leading this nation for the last 40 years. But I do believe one thing for sure and that is that it's time to separate the wheat from the chaff and consolidate. There will be a lot more of this — the market demands men tilting at windmills, and margins to exploit.
