FWIW, I don’t think it is destructive, in fact, it is a reformative approach i.e., after all we are human beings, not sages and saints, and the real value lies in being able to do it despite knowing your flaws as a human being, and the “congratulations” from OP is an evidence that they realise it is a part and parcel of life. It takes time to digest the fact that someone has progressed far ahead of you using your tool and when your mind is clouded, you don’t immediately think about how that is a net good.

Now I understand why first-hand knowledge is better than reading summaries and commentaries. Every conversation revolves around a context, which when separated and generalised distorts the entire thing. Anyone who wishes to understand the context should watch the segment from the podcast, there are timestamps under the video. It is as not as black and white as the article makes it out to be, in fact, I’ve a new found respect for Joe after watching that particular podcast.
