Aha.
Thanks for clarifying.
I am grateful for your attention to detail. I hadn’t the foggiest idea that Altucher was on to that next gig. I have a similar queasy feeling whenever people bring up Tim Ferriss and his “4-hour” approach to things, and his minimalism. Sorry, I just can’t bring myself to believe in the long-term workability for his way. (Imagine being a parent for just 4 hours a week. I wonder how that works. Or being a caregiver to an elderly family member or spouse for just 4 hours a week and then, sorry hey I’m off now!))
I find serious-minded discussions of minimalism on bOINGbOING and elsewhere to be fraught at best, for the very reason you have described here.
