I'm at risk of sounding "conspiracy theory" but I question the official narrative on why mchurch had to get got. I don't think the stupid feud had anything to do with it, because I struggle to see why anyone would care.

Instead, he was gunned down for pointing out the nonexistence of meritocracy in the startup world. He certainly wasn't the first to figure it out, and he wasn't the first to say it, but he was for whatever reason the one who turned it into common knowledge.

I wonder where he is now and I hope his book (Farisa's Crossing, is it called?) lives up to the hype.
