I loved this guy. His writing and book How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big particularly impacted me early and exposed me to First Principles, biases, and in particular not giving a f*k about what people care so much.

he was one of those people who was attacked during COVID and labeled and propagandized against as a scapegoat for the failings of our unaccountable leadership - the cancel culture was unfair and unwelcome towards him. I resonated with that too.

I hope his legacy lives on - it will in me.



Weird, he was a huge fan of that unaccountable leadership.


There's more unaccountable leadership than just the side you follow.
