(Primarily, I suspect him to be high on scales of narcissism, to which I’m very sensitive. Haven’t met the guy personally, but his text reeks of it. Doesn’t negate his genius; just negates my will to engage with him in any other dimension.)
It’s safer to read the text of a person’s blog than to engage in more high-bandwidth interactions that shape your personal life. The examples in the OP is that you should be extra conservative when it comes to things like starting a business venture or sharing personal secrets. Those are not concerns if you are reading only EY’s posts on the internet, therefore it is safe because his ability to impact you is limited.
