What Hacker News says?
The article on BW substack seems to have too many things thrown in with insufficient nuance -- muddying the water and putting the main idea out of focus. I found the original article by KB more nuanced, and a good place to start thinking about what the author means by "seriousness": https://boyle.substack.com/p/on-seriousness
