Why is there such a large disconnect between being so successful in one domain (e.g. creating companies) and the ability to produce good, well-informed opinions online?
This is IMO the strongest piece of evidence the leftists have for their thesis that “Billionaires aren’t skilful they’re just lucky”. Some captains of industry have opinions that are just SO bad, it’s impossible not to get a sort of anti-halo-effect about them and conclude that they must, indeed, be generally dumb, and so any success they have comes from rolling natural 20s at life rather than having a consistent pattern of beat-the-market intelligence.
Yes, and it’s why that movie is dumb. The final recalcitrant juror is induced to change his mind not by the others successfully convincing him, but by the others socially ostracising and refusing to talk to him. Tell me your movie was written by a woman without telling me it was written by a woman…
