I'm actually very curious about this, as he's been one of my favorite people to listen to lately.

I've not read his new book, only heard him talk about it.

Yeah, a lot of my friends like him! You can read any of the many critiques of Abundance for a summary of why he’s always gotten on my nerves (or worse). Or you can just ignore me, lol. Always an option! ❤️

I definitely won't ignore you! And out of curiosity, will look at those reviews.

The short version, which I hope won’t offend you, is that I find him to be a smug neoliberal doing a pretty good imitation of a progressive. He’s always seemed very NPR/Ted Talk/both sides to me. But like, I also kind of hate Rachel Maddow now, too. I am cranky.

For example, it for not surprise me that his co-author did this interview. I can hear the argument about reaching across the aisle just looking at the thumbnail. https://bsky.app/profile/radleybalko.bsky.social/post/3lkyel3ytyk2l

This is obviously bad

I'm not offended. I find him to be very thoughtful on his podcast, especially during these times, but ha, yes, maybe it is a bit Ted Talk-y.

(i can't even think who EK is rn lol but from what you describe: ew)
