This is one of the fascinating things I think folks born in the 90's are really going to regret. So much of what they say and opine about has become embalmed in the amber that is the Internet that as time passes and looking back reveals how little they knew in spite of their ardor to the contrary is going to start haunting them and become a modern albatross[1]. When I think about the some of the really silly things I believed when I was in college to be absolute truths, only to find in the passage of time they were simply projections of my dreams and fears on to the events of my day. It seems to me there is a particularly vulnerable group there in the middle somewhere, too early to recognize what things like Google would do to data retention, but late enough that their thoughts and views made it into those archives. Ouch.

According to his LinkedIn page[2] Matthew Lynn has continued to be fairly successful as a strategist so perhaps for him it is a non-issue.
