I feel like a lot of the things I've read from Paul Graham suffer from the survivor fallacy. The tech industry idolization of him is itself a form of survivor fallacy and its infatuation with "wealth makes right" is almost incestuous. Most of what he writes is just a one line fortune cookie drawn out into a 3 page essay.

I HIGHLY recommend tech workers to actually break out of your bubble. So much of our ethos is being "free thinkers", but most of the "thought" is just repeated business pep talk.
