This story. Brad Pitt enthusiastically promised New Orleans’ 9th Ward:
150k house featuring green-focused initiatives: solar panels, modern design w/ artistic rooflines, designer built & u get to pick a model.
Yep, he did & got tons of praise/$/buyers.

1) Meaning his non-profit was promising a designer house costing millions, charging poor people 150k, & here’s the kicker:
a) has 0 experience building houses but thought he’d influence the future of building!
b) prioritised lofty ideals (solar) over fundamentals (structure).

2) So clearly an incidence #FyreFestival here. I’m sure he meant well but boy was he self-absorbed enough to think his star power & sheer will would bypass basic economics & common sense.
These people spent tons of $ on good “intentions” & not much on building sound shelters

Episode 3: In which I discuss, among many things, Swaziland, @NewYorker article #unreliablenarrator, #fyrefestival, Alice Munro and writing a short story. Also, there interspecies yoga.
1/ The #FyreFestival documentaries on both Netflix and Hulu are so good. You MUST watch both. Netflix is a deeper dive into the fraudulent activity of the business and founder. Hulu offers some of that as well but goes deeper into a generations impact on society.
2/ Overall #FyreFestival is a perfect example of everything that’s disgustingly wrong with the tech industry. This goes above and beyond “bro culture.” It’s way deeper than that.
3/ It’s an example of the narcissistic sociopathic nature of many founders that’s celebrated over actual intelligence. If you are a white guy who knows how to play the game, can use the right finance vernacular, and fit into character you can and will win.
