I highly doubt he is oblivious to the show so I'm wondering if he truly didn't think of it in the moment (unlikely) or he purposefully link baited the title on (not that he would need to) but for anyone wondering: no, this isn't a blog post with the stark comparisons of how the TV show Silicon Valley effects us in reality.

There is no reference or comparison to the fable in the article. This is pure link bait. Absolutely deplorable.
