I’m not a fan of FZ. He reminds me a bit of Lindsey Graham or even a LLM. LLMs are great at rationalizing things that are incorrect and mirroring it back as plausible prose. Give FZ some completely outrageous reality to confront and he’ll write an essay about it about how to productively engage, never mind it bears no logical consistency to his last set of recommendations.
