    Eh, I wouldn’t say it’s a largely influential factor.

    Maybe a handful of tech company founders (e.g. Atlassian guy) have some degree of intelligence in their field, but id argue connections, sociopathy, and the right place at the right time are bigger factors. But most are born into it idiots like Trump or Musk.

      Well if you don’t think so, it must be true, right?

      And most of the people who cause all this heinous shit aren’t nearly as publicly facing as the ones you mention. Because they’re not idiots. They use the public facing fools as scapegoats for their actions.

      How does it feel to lap that up?

        Just because they’re cowards who disavow responsibility doesn’t make them intelligent.

        EVERYONE knows to not do inhumane shit out in the open, it doesn’t tale intelligence to understand that. Even children know to hide bad behavior.

        I think you’re right that they aren’t below average intelligence, but you’re giving them too much credit.
