coolness is all about being authentically you. you can't be cool and trying to act cool at the same time. you can only be cool by cultivating within yourself the type of friend you'd want to hang out with. the world's richest dickhead, meanwhile, has not cultivated within himself anything worthy of being friends with. he is purely superficial, not at all authentic. he's a sequence of memes brought to life meant to make you think he's part of your culture when he isn't. interactions with him rob you of the genuine interactions you could be having with people around you, people with real thoughts and real feelings. not just some dumb amalgamation of crufty memes the rest of us moved on from.
and you know, running a major business at an executive level just isn't very cool. Oh great you directed a team to run an extensive RFP of manufacturing materials to see if panama or the horn of africa is cheaper when shipping full containers and then you looked at the report and picked the lower number, before staying up until 4am to try and impress a 53 year old guy from China so he'd give you a 2% discount on warehouse space. So fucking cool my dude, let me write a quick rap about it.
Well, that and anyone who pays even a little bit of attention knows that he’s really fucking bad being a CEO, too. Money and ownership makes it really easy to cover up being an utter failure because you can pay smarter people to do your work for you and they can’t even talk back because you’ll fire them in a temper tantrum.
My inlaws are convinced he's a genius. They're basically a red hat short of being magats. We're fucking Australian
It's been a while I heard of anyone thought he was a genius. It used to be common to believe so, years ago. I kind of belived it too. But it became clearer and clearer how much of a golden spoon moron he was, and now I find it's a rarity to find those who still believe he's a genius.
Boomers with a sunk cost fallacy
I’d say show them all of his failures but would they even listen?
Nope. Tried that.
