Why does it have to start with a gross, misogynistic dig at Taylor Lorenz? Comes off as petty and gives me absolutely no appetite to read the rest of it.

Perhaps he is referring to the false accusations wrongfully leveled at Marc Andreessen (he never used the word retard in Clubhouse which was the appropriation term of reddit group wallstreetbets) by Taylor Lorenz:

Niccolo's entire brand is irony-poisoned shitposting from (what Americans would perceive as) a far-right perspective. If you want to take anything he writes seriously, you must simultaneously take nothing he writes seriously.

What is the non-irony-poisoned translation of that paragraph that I'm meant to accept as the serious interpretation?

It's bait. Certain people were probably never going to give the interview a honest read anyhow, but here you are giving it free advertising and also putting on demonstration one of its theses (tendency of the WEIRD to insist on hyperconformity)

I was actually pretty interested in reading it until I saw that paragraph.

yeah WTF, struggled to read that paragraph and then just closed this.

Dunno who this guy is (Nicollo) or why should care but can we stop sharing these lame ass substack newsletters like they're decent content? They're newsletters silo'd away so these people and their readers can stay hidden away from the rest of us.
