And there's MANY examples of idiots who have too much power in this country.

I realized that after I first entered the work-world years ago, witnessing decisions made by corporate managers that were almost certainly going to fail. The ideas seemed almost random, as if they hoped we might hit the "lottery" in some lucrative new endeavor, instead of probabilistic thinking.

I also observed, around the same time, fellow college students changing their majors to business because they struggled too much in science coursework. And those types of people should be in charge of our business world?!

For a fascinating discussion about the billionaire bros who want to survive the apocalypse they help create, check out C-Span Sept. 20, 2022 interview with Douglas Rushkoff, author of Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaires. He's brilliant, and funny.
