Is there such a thing as good taste?
Probably a heretical thing to say here but I feel like PG has increasingly fallen into the trap where because he&#x27;s been smart and insightful in some areas he&#x27;s gradually convinced himself he&#x27;s smart and insightful everywhere. IMO the more he veers away from writing on e.g. coding and startups the more he comes across like a very over-confident man who thinks he&#x27;s figured it all out<p>It&#x27;s quite noticeable on Twitter too where he seems to increasingly have very confident diagnoses on everything from geopolitics to culture war nonsense to genetic engineering.<p>Funnily enough a friend said something lately about SlateStarCodex (or ACX now) - I wonder if getting that much positive feedback on your musings just inevitably starts convincing you everything you think must be just as insightful
