Main claim made: You can write about widely-applicable topics and give the reader a strong sense of learning as long as your audience is young. For older audiences, you need to pick a trade-off between how general the topic is and how strong a learning experience you can expect.
The argument was built on a weak premise. Ignores that learning is time consuming. And in some cases, money consuming. So, it does not follow that 'If you're writing for smart people about important things, you're writing for the young'.
Also, simpler explanation for the author having a young audience: The author is associated with a popular VC firm and writes a lot about tech entrepreneurship.
