I don't know, but as someone who has been interested in this for a long time and who likes to observe how children learn, I think he was right on point.

Honestly he is really just articulating well, what everybody ought to already know if they have previously had any interest in the topic.

edit: my bad, I missed that this is a guest post; doesn't change my opinion of Perell though. I'd genuinely recommend his newsletter.

He is an "essayist". I'm subbed to his newsletter because he's excellent at finding good reading material, but his original writing is often insufficiently informed (charitably) or arrogant (uncharitably), and in poor style. This boggles the mind, since he sells online instruction in writing.

FYI although this article is published on the website of David Perell it was written by Mason Hartman who I believe goes by female pronouns.

Ah, I missed that and thought this was Perell's work.
