For me, Harris too neat and tidy to make sense. Not nearly messy
enough to be believable. But I understand his appeal. Ppl like
simplification and he does a very good job at what he does. Of
course then people follow up with that Australian dude....
Singer? Sanger? I forget. Then I'm like.. ugh, really? but,
personal preference here. Im not much for hero-worship. Yeah.
he's great when he stays on his territory but like a lot of
talking heads and book writers, he steps out of his territory
and starts sounding kinda lame to everybody 'cept his followers.
== Where he's good, he's good. I have a similar thing with the
singularity dude with the keyboards and the google. Great up to
a point... then I'm like... oh come on. Hawking disappointed me.
Still like him but... yeah. 'nuff said there. Malcolm Gladwell
broke my heart when I realized he was embellishing some simple
things (after 2 or 3 books too) but damn he's a good writer.
Heroes. They suck. Ppl who have heroes have my envy somewhat. ==
yeah... stuff like that. Talk about cultural subjectivity. Yow.
I mean, it's not that I don't subjectively generally agree with
it in principle what he's saying there... but damn, it's an
OPINION. Drives me nuts when ppl mix them up, especially
otherwise smart dudes like him.
