I agree. I had a couple of NeXT slabs from 1991 to 2000 or so. Objective C had some benefits. The NeXT Obj-C libraries were very usable and well thought out.

The amount of pro-Microsoft press and propaganda was astonishing during that period.

I'm guessing vaccines have something to do with it, and maybe drinking water fluoridation.

I watched his interview on NBC and, although his positions seem plausible, I had the same reaction: "He's not expressing his ideas articulately."


Read “The Fund: Ray Dalio, Bridgewater Associates, and the Unraveling of a Wall Street Legend” by Rob Copeland to appreciate what a hollow shell Dalio is.

I do this, too, but I also delete all the comments before printing to avoid cognitive bias induced by the comments.
