Did you read that blog he wrote about Grab? I am curious if you respect his opinions in that. Most of it is pretty cringe-worthy not least of which of are his neo-colonial claims and stereotyping. Some highlights from the blog post include:
"I’m getting myself involved in a land war in Asia."
" ... because — as any Asian person will happily tell you — they love their food more than you do"
"Southeast Asians use smartphones possibly more than anyone else in the world."
Ive been reading his blog posts for years, if you are going to form an opinion over one post Im not sure what to say to you.
