The guy keeps talking about the marginal utility function of complexity, and avoiding the obvious -

Government, government regulation, and taxes - in that order.

That drives the dang complexity!

So I agree with what he is saying, he is just missing the forest for the trees.

And his metrics are infantile.

IMHO.
