I am with you on this comment.

I feel like mentioning famous scientist does not help the case at all. I mean PG is talking about coming up with ideas to sell to VC or private equity firms... There is nothing as grand as scientific progress here... just randos trying to get rich.



I'm afraid you've deeply misunderstood PG if you think that's what he cares about or is writing about here. What he cares about is great work: doing it, understanding what it is, looking at the history of it.

What on earth gives you that idea?
