PG's essays have an agenda, which is to defend the rich and the incumbents, disguised as revolutionaries.

Because they are young? But they are the same as the robber barons of old.

I enjoy his blog posts, primarily because they show just how your brain can turn to pudding when it's more profitable to be willfully ignorant than otherwise. No one can read his recent obtuse entry and come away thinking his conclusions are supported by the carefully selected input. It's mindless at best, a clumsy, dishonest swipe at the poor at worst.

He's just a middleman between wealthy investors and children of privilege, and like all middlemen, desperate to demonstrate some kind of value he adds to the process before the actual players catch on to the pointlessness of having middlemen in the first place. It really becomes sad when a layer of entrenched middlemen starts to actually believe in their own necessity, so I honestly hope he is at least being disingenuous. Just not sure he could be so consistently dense if it weren't genuine.
