Scott Adams was saying this morning that now that political leadership is so lacking, our best hope is the technologists taking control. His candidates: Bill Gates and Elon Musk.

I take people on an idea by idea basis. Nobody is completely stupid, and nobody is right all the time.

Some people I wonder if they make it a point to be as wrong as possible.
