I for one find it absolutely hilarious to watch people take these ‘essays’ seriously. I have nothing but respect for PG in regards to his work with startups, but when he wrote this essay [1] on the field of philosophy, it should have been a sign to everyone to stop and question the author when he talks about anything other than startups or computer science.

Well, I liked that philosophy essay. (About me: I've read philosophy for decades and most of my university studies have been in philosophy.)

Oh come now, one essay can't really detract from the general character of all his essays does it?
