got a lot of feedback (mostly private) about a piece I read at the end of this podcast and the degree to which my central claim has been proven correct is staggering in the face of some unquestioned PR masquerading as journalism today.

as always, hope it's worth it.

"it is impossible to have more than one.."

"It is possible to have no more than one..."

Going with the second just seems insane to me lol

there's no way this is what they meant to write, right? "It is possible to have [only one]" what are we doing?

It's interesting to me that your main points of criticism are

1. I am arguing that criticism is exacting rather than open to whatever anyone wants it to be and

2. something about my tone.

i kinda dig this. 12 characters, no fuss. No huge expectations.

If they can launch at a competitive price point that would be huge
