We Should’ve Rooted for the Jocks to Win, to Stuff Those Nerds in the Locker for All Eternity. > >> —Atrios, on Mark Andreeson's recent incoherent philosophical statements Mark Andreeson has been hitting podcasts and social media insisting that self-examination is not a real thing, but rather it is an artifact of a dysfunctional modern world. He has in fact said that, "The whole idea of self-examination, he explained, is basically a Freudian fad— an invention dating from around 1910 that serious people have no business indulging." I think that the Delphic Oracle, Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Sun Tzu, Cicero, Lucretius, etc. would like to have a word with you. It really is amazing how aggressively tech bros try to find a moral justification for their own selfishness.
