Cool, pathetic or gaming the system.

Alex Goldberg is all three. Which, as a 14-year old goes, is rare, unfortunate or very likely depending on your POV. After first reading the article, I thought, damn, kid’s cooler and more connected than most of the adults I know. He seems to be the kind of old soul who shows no fear in not only exploring, but living life;* it’s the kind of free spirit you’d hope your kids would have. Certainly it’s the kind of no limits personality you find in many creatives. But then it gets old seeing him walk all over his parents. As one commentor said, cokehead by 18, multimillion book deal soon thereafter.

*It’s semicolon resurgence week here on MTLB.
