> “I'm not trying to be pedantic”

Nobody likes to think of themselves as being pedantic.

But people can choose to make an effort to avoid being pedantic.

Instead you’ve chosen to use emotive words like “historical revisionism”, “fascinating”, “sad” and “oblivion” to create drama over something that, as I said in another comment, for all we know, PG may not have even properly heard.

If you’re a PG fan, perhaps have a re-read of the “Life is Short” essay and take a moment to think about whether PG (and Jessica and the other YC founders) would think this discussion is the kind of thing life is or isn’t too short for.



Fair enough.

Thanks for the comment; I appreciate your perspective.


Good on you, thanks for the gracious response.
