What is the point of this article? It rings incredibly false and superficial to me. How is this about tech? The headspace this person is in seems like pure misery.

It's social commentary about class, fame, and fate – all things very relevant to hackers and news.

    It's just weird celebrity worship dressed up by arguing that celebrity is somehow this innate characteristic his specific friend Adam can spot. This is tabloid ontology.

    I've worked in the celebrity space for a long time, there is no there there, the dehumanizing of celebrities (and oneself) via worship, para-socializing or unearned castigation is all brain rot.

    This attempt to hide ungrounded "People Magazine" supermarket aisle foolishness behind pseudo gonzo journalism is such a lipstick on a pig move.
