Among the many reasons I have railed against the worship of tech leaders as “genius” business leaders is that they lack the quality possessed by most successful business leaders: discernment. Astoundingly poor judgment about the character of their colleagues. Here’s Sam Altman 2 wks ago on Elon:

This is why there was a real opportunity to pressure Harris to change course on Israel policy if she won. Biden's Zionism was uniquely rabid, racist, and untethered from reality as a Democrat. Consensus is changing for normal liberals who don't have deteriorating elderly brains.

The DNC Chair race, which will likely be held in early 2025, is the biggest fight we have in the immediate future. Of the rumored candidates, Ben Wikler, chair of the WI Democratic Party, and Ken Martin, head of the MN Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, are by far the best choices.
