Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

It was only a matter of time that we saw a TechTake from this guy. I'm sorry to inflict Peterson on y'all, but this was too funny not to post.

There has to be more to this nonsense. This makes no sense, and while I don’t agree with a lot of what this dude says, he’s not a bumbling idiot who would conflate a law about computing power with evolution.

Counterpoint: he is in fact a bumbling idiot

what specifically about Dr Jordan B Peterson gave you the impression he wasn’t an absolute dumbass grifter? cause as someone who’s been unwillingly exposed to way too much content from shithead right-wing grifters, this sounds exactly like the type of fucking nonsense Peterson would post to make a stupid point on a topic he doesn’t know anything about

no no, i would give Peterson full points for being a dumbass here, because the original is (a) ten years old (b) Petersonian in its stupidity https://phys.org/news/2013-04-law-life-began-earth.html
