I just want to take a moment to appreciate places to have quiet and slow
discussions, such as this list. I was reminded of how much we'd miss it if
(when) everything goes to hell while reading this article:

I can't take this article seriously.
It starts out (at numerous points) sensibly enough, then it plunges so
deeply into the territory of its own metaphor that it's no longer
talking about anything that exists outside of it.
I agree with the comment by Simmy Dash that the whole article is a giant
kafkatrap. It might be amusing to sift through it and identify its many
logical fallacies, but I think I'll pass.
