Please don't do generic tangents or personal attacks on HN. Those are two of the worst influences on an internet forum.

If you don't like this article, there are lots of others to read here.

The irony of your generic complaint followed by overstatement about my what you believe to be my generic complaint is genuinely fun.

This isnt a character attack, it's a substantive attack. And you should care. This ego maniac has his sights set on being the representative talking "tech guy" at the highest form of culture. He was a featured guest on Joe Rogan spouting his empty rhetoric and he indirectly represents us.

I don't see anything substantive about it. Yes, moderation comments are ironic, but alas we can't do without them (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...) I don't know who 'us' is supposed to be; he doesn't represent me, and I assume he doesn't represent you. By the way, the issue with personal attacks is not so much the person, as what they do to the community. Maybe you don't owe Naval better, but you owe this community better if you're posting to it. We need to take care of the commons, which suffers enough as it is.
