The premise is how to write a successful framework. The cynical takes are presented as advice.
It's structured like those guru business books like "Blue Ocean Strategy" or "Little Bets".
That genre requires an additional separate focus and some further work. It's by a bunch of narcissists who ran multiple businesses into the ground who pivoted to being a guru and offer acronyms, charts, and X-point frameworks in tidy books with a bunch of business examples, most of which catastrophically collapse within 12 months of publication.
And then the books sell 5 million copies, the authors get Ted Talks, it's the same mechanism at play. People pass around their Clayton Christensen of Geoffrey Moore diagrams and crib paragraphs quoting them like they're bible passages. And people eat it up. It's wild.
I remember looking at the Appendix of one of Jim Collins books for the first time about 10 years ago where he talks about his methodology with his team. When you start cross-referencing and see the omissions, mistakes, and misrepresentations, it's wild. I was like "wow this thing is nonsense".
You've got Sutherland's Scrum, Collins BHAGs, and you burn through $20,000,000 in Series A without releasing shit. Alright, I guess that's what we do.
