My career so far looks like a 1:87 scale, software-eaten, buggy, budget version of Stewart Brand’s.
I’m not alone. A bunch of us shady tech world D-list “network celebrities” are basically 3nd gen ersatz Stewart Brands. He’s TED; we’re TEDx’s.

It always cracks me up to situate myself in some sort of downward, democratizing, ephemeralizing, cheapening trend. Moore’s law of scenestering: the number of BrandXs doubles every 18 months (power halves)

I’m calling this the BrandX stack. You are a full-stack BrandX if you do all of this at > 1:87 Stewart scale. I’m almost there.
