it did hit a nerve here though, ~1000 comments. I couldn't finish it due to rambling style but i do find some insightful comment threads here.
My guess it's the perfect HN bait. Starts with a meaningful factoid. Makes grand unhinged claims. Then starts rambling about everything under the sun.
If you had a preconceived topic you care about: this blog post gives you every imaginable opening. Free of any substance which might define a direction for discussion.
I think this topic is on a lot of peoples' minds, and it would be nice to get a discussion thread going about it with a quality article at the focal point instead of this completely uninformed one.

I'm shocked that you're the only one pointing this out. This is clearly a manic episode. You can tell this was written in one go. Some users have pointed out the authors absolutely absurd resume.
And despite the fact that this article is filled with absolutely wild claims and martyr-laden tangents, the response here on HN proves that passion is worth more than substance in the tech world. Which explains a lot.
