  "textContent": "> We Were Wrong, Years Ago. We Should’ve Rooted for the Jocks to Win, to Stuff Those Nerds in the Locker for All Eternity.\n>\n>> —Atrios, on Mark Andreeson's recent incoherent philosophical statements\n\nMark 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.\n\nHe 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.\"\n\nI think that the Delphic Oracle, Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, Sun Tzu, Cicero, Lucretius, etc. would like to have a word with you.\n\nIt really is amazing how aggressively tech bros try to find a moral justification for their own selfishness.",
