The article was surprisingly pretty even handed, though it's Shoe that said "SEO has no future", not Jason. I agree with the spirit of Jason's message, though there are several vital nuts-and-bolts issues like robots.txt and .htaccess that can't be left to chance. SEO is important but its only one aspect of internet marketing. While a great product may not go anywhere without marketing, marketing a piece of crap is also a waste of time. Jason and the SEO industry puts emphasis on opposing sides of that equation; the truth is somewhere in between.
I thought the main truth that can be gleaned is that Calacanis is a showman, and a very skilled one at that. He did say he thought the comic was funny and linked to it from his blog. http://www.calacanis.com/2008/07/01/seo-best-practices/ Notice the title of the post.."SEO best practices." Always doing SEO regardless of what he says about it..
