All tech seems to be good atm for is creating purposeless, directionless, depressed narcissistic rich men

Appreciate the transparency, @vhmth.

In my 20s, few of my peers felt "lost" professionally.

In my 30s, this seems very common.

I have a few theories why that is. Perhaps a topic for another essay. https://t.co/pdICtArkhp

I read the whole thing and I’m glad that i cannot relate to him at all

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make beautiful, functional, and ethically made candles at humankind.place

Do they not see how bad look it is to say that it is? Lol

I was so infuriated and disgusted by the apparent narcissism that pity took a back seat. Nothing is worth doing to him unless it leads to clout. It’s fucking gross lol

I don’t understand who he is trying to prove himself to. 

One other thing that bothered me in that essay was how he said im in these signal group chats for DOGE, i talked to 100+ deep tech founders whatever. I know it’s probably habit by now to signal but this doesn’t make me anymore confident that he will find what he is looking for. And it actually makes me pity him.

The last part is all of these founders boosting the blog. I acknowledge his vulnerability and that this is a normal human thing to go through. Coupled with his extreme success though, I’m surprised that no one around him has told him that he just needs some more love in his life - love for himself, maybe partner, friends, kids etc.
