Golf is a hobby where you can spend $1,000+ before you even swing a club on a course and your 4 hours of futility costs around $80 without a cart and any range balls.
Absolutely laughable to call gaming "one of the most expensive hobbies around" because a video game costs ten dollars more. Gamers are children and should be treated with distain.

Marc is on the board of Meta. I have heard from people who have told me that they literally briefed him as a board member on how none of what he's now spouting is true
Incredible to see Marc Andreesseen, master of the universe elite thinker w/billions under management, cite Shellenberger & Benz as reliable sources.
If he had all this inside visibility into the rise of a “”censorship edifice”” over “12 yrs”…why didn’t he say anything?
(Bc it’s all bullshit)
