He's also been non-stop tweeting about "current thing", is there some SV drama that's gotten him worked up?

WRT the 'current thing', it's just internet slang for mocking people who go along with trends. Marc also seems to get hold of neologisms very quickly, as with the whole 'wordcel/shape rotator' meme and the informal usage of 'lindy'.

I've never heard Andreesen say anything I thought was particularly insightful or intelligent. He seems like a caricature of a Silicon Valley programmer who got lucky and made a bunch of money who now thinks that makes him a genius thought leader for the rest of his life. I hate his tagline "software is eating the world" If a homeless person standing outside a grocery store said these things you wouldn't listen becaus…
He then went on to found another company that had a $1.6 billion exit just 4 years after the AOL acquisition.
He then ran a VC that went from 300mm to 2.7bn in three years.
I would say he knows something about the world. Maybe he doesn't know anything on certain topics or you disagree with him, or he has an ego. But to write him off as a "programmer who got lucky" is wrong, especially considering that the fields he succeeded in were very cutting edge. He didn't just invest in Manhattan real estate or some crap.
Some life advice, go into every interaction with people assuming they know something you don't. You'll get a lot farther that way.
You are also at all time high surveillance. You're also at all time high freedom of movement restriction. I could go on, but I'm tired of gritting my teeth.
Drunk tweeting is a thing.
