Fascinating how much they cluster around the same odd opinions too.
When I give the benefit of the doubt and try to read their logic with an open mind, I'm struck by how obtuse or disengenuous it is. They're struggling against those basic first principles to say something provocative, but it requires them to create problems or miss elementary logic.
I think it stems from a lack of humility, but also motivated by trying to stay relevant. To be fair, I probably have to encounter people like Udi far more than otherwise just because they've placed themselves at the nexus of controversy - so, unfortunately, it works for them.
