For someone who has spent a great deal of time decrying how facile and shallow TED has become, Evgeny Morozov has really doubled down contrarianism for contrarianism's sake without contending with irony therein.

He styles himself as a truth teller to some sort of "techno-elite", but he's really just a troll with nothing interesting to say.

Oh, I don't know. It's kind of entertaining to take one crazy person ("Consumed within three hours of getting under the sheets, meals of at least 800 milligrams of cholesterol ... and 40 grams of protein produced dramatically faster time-to-sleep scores....") and rub them up against another, contrasting, crazy person ("within the globalist neoliberal paradigm, sleeping is for losers").

I find his views quite interesting, and particularly agree with his skepticism about 'solutionism.'
