Once we idolized astronauts & civil rights leaders who inspired hope and empathy. Now we worship tech innovators that create billions and move financial markets. #nomercynomalice#SNL
Zuck's empire has been disarticulated—a new king will seize the Iron Throne. Behold the Launcher of Dragons, Borer of Tunnels & Father of X Æ A-Xii. The coronation will take place before a live studio audience, with Tesla long bots and adoring CNBC personalities.
.@elonmusk is now the most influential individual in the world — so influential, he can distort the modern world’s premier platform, our free market system.
--It's about sex...
--Specifically, young men not having (enough) sex
--Sex leads to relationships, obligations and guardrails (don't get in fights, we need you. Don't gamble your paycheck, we need to save for a house)
--A bored/angry young man is the most dangerous person in the world.
--When countries have unemployed young men, who are single, the likelihood that country goes to war escalates
--We have cut the share of wealth of young people in half in last 30 years (19% to 9%)
Arm young men, in a basement, not at work, not having sex, not forming connection, with an RH account, a phone and stimulus and you have the perfect storm of volatility as they wage war against established players while squeezing the dopa bag,,,harder and harder
👨🏻🏫👩🏽💻 Teaching is moving to online. Some tips from me:
1. When teaching via live video/Zoom, most important, you have to over-animate. Gestures are always good in public speaking — doubly so when teaching online. Voice, motions, intonation — amp everything up.
2. Lighting & sound — worth investing in some equipment (a ring light). Overhead lighting doesn’t look great. Have a clean background, your face at a good, straight angle. If you’re teaching a big class (>200 ppl) have someone w/you to handle tech real-time if you can.
3. Hold students accountable and engaged. Everyone's video must be visible. If you see someone tuning out, speak directly to them, get in their face. Tell them you want their faces engaged, since they can all see each other.
--Sycophants and stenographers (i.e., @CNBC) gathered at 10 Downing reporting that Prime Minister Dorsey has secured "Peace in our Time." Striking how badly the media (thus far) have misread what has happened here.

--This "partnership" means total and near-unconditional surrender by @twitter. I challenge anybody to find an activist campaign, levied against a $10b+ company, that has resulted in 3 board seats in 5 business days;
