I read it the same way, but he is quite pretentiousness.
I thought that litter was dead? (supposed to say ~~bitter~~ nitter but I'm keeping it.
I came here to write that, after listening to lo-fi Yudkowski, that I want to destroy my speakers lest they ever do that again.
In addition to being a wonderful article, as a bonus I learned the phrase l'esprit d'escalier (and various other forms from wikipedia) and found out that Mr. Andreesen has a small version of the snoopy in a blender sculpture in his yard, which is just amazing.
