Once I got over his… interesting… affect, I found this to be a pretty enjoyable watch. Certainly there’s not much technical merit to the ideas, and I definitely wouldn’t want to start a company with him or invest in him as a leader, but it was entertaining and at least a little thought-provoking about the future of media technology. I have a relatively high tolerance for bullshit though, so I can see how this could be unwatchable for many.

So, this is a great example of the ideas discussed in the article. Entertaining, a little woo-woo, preying on optimism, and ultimately, probably entirely inconsequential.

Your book looks interesting, too. I’ll check it out.
