Wow this guy can write. I don’t even agree with his point or pessimism. I just enjoy reading this.

Sam Kriss is quite good: https://samkriss.substack.com/

He's using common language to say common things on common subjects, but he does it well, and in a way I can't quite put my finger on.

More than the prose itself, I think it's that what he's writing about isn't exactly "common knowledge" but rather shrewd, piercing observation.

The way he understands and captures the dynamics makes you think he's a native to the "bay area" tech scene or immersed in TPOT. Yet here's a complete outsider, pinpointing the unstated core premises and paradoxes of these communities.


TPOT has a lot of spillover into the rest of twitter at this point; I assure you people in his twitter circles see their stuff all the time.
