      It's 2000+ words. I could go on. But there's a point. - I assumed bad faith, as I had context - Not just on this piece, but on tech journalism in 2020 - Some lacked context & didn't understand why I called it out But as you can see, it was indeed a piece about handshakes!pic.twitter.com/XM5RrxvEes

      Why was I right? Contra one comment, I’m not a psychic. I just have a mental model that correctly predicts the actions of many tech journalists. The sad truth is they are incentivized to produce clickbait. This is partly tech's fault too: social media created these incentives.

      Again, this article is something of a rubicon for tech journalism, as it crosses the line into a hazard to public health. More later, but for now: - Take virus seriously, WHO/CDC are - Don’t take unserious journalists seriously - And avoid handshakes! 🙏https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/1227471118233219072 …

      I was interviewed for this piece. I talked about a range of subjects ranging from R0, lethality, what’s being done to create therapies and vaccines, high-risk transmission routes, advisable policies, and the like. I wish there had been more focus on that.

      Thank you for trying, and thank you @balajis for standing up for reason. We need to break the journalist monopoly on “the truth.” This level of risk assessment and judgment and cynicism and fatalism is just intolerable during this crisis. Sneering disregard of scientist-alarms
