This reads like an AI trained on Joan Didion and tech bros.

I thought it was beautiful, specially the meditative state of the desert silence.

I find 'tech bro' characterization uncalled for here (and uncharitable in general) -- dismissing someone's personal writing based on stereotype. Stereotyping any large number of people (could be psychologists, writers, scientists or tech workers) never leads to a good reflection. It's more in vogue to do so with well off people, but no less uncharitable.

Joan Didion didn’t deserve that.

It honestly wasn’t meant as a shot at her. Tech bros on the other hand…

Comical (but bang-on accurate) to start this by quoting Paul Graham.
