Years later it still saddens me that he is gone. Such a profound wordsmith and human.

funny book! I want to check out Don't get too comfortable now...

[@stevezelaznik5872]

A coworker of mine the same age as Rackoff speculated that the dot-com bubble happened because so many people were on prescription antidepressants. The medically-induced positive thinking from SSRI's may have overridden people's better judgement.

Your coworker's thought is worth a moment's consideration, but I think the epidemic use of cocaine during those years may be more relevant.
