I generally skip articles from Farnam Street. Once I saw the source, I already knew what the comments would be. ;)

Yeah I like Shane, but FS seems it has too narrow a focus and he has tried really hard to squeeze every last drop out of these mental models.
FS articles are deep in a shallow way, kinda like if Aristotle directed the "Avengers" (movie)... hehehe.
What’s the problem with FS?
Their podcast 'The Knowledge Project' is essentially a book tour for authors flogging their new book 'Framework/Mental Models to achieve X'.
Modern day magic beans to make you smarter.
It's like Tim Ferris, filtered for the "intellectual" topics. Yawn

Yeah, I think that about sums it up. I started listening to Tim Ferris years ago because there were a few decent episodes, but I hit a breaking point after one-too-many horrendous episodes.
I discovered FS a couple years ago and have enjoyed some of them, but I'm very close to unsubscribing from this one. There have been a lot of low quality episodes as well as some negative quality: goofy web3 technobabble.
y'know goddammit that's it. I'm gonna start a blog and cross post every day to HN and tell you all lots of really amazing observations about life you never even thought of before.
Just kidding hahshahah I'd never do that
edit but only because I'm lazy
