I've never heard of Garry Tan before just now, but he didn't strike me as "overtly charismatic" in the linked article. He struck me as incredibly unhinged and unlikeable.

Those are not mutually exclusive in my experience.

>>mvdtnz+(OP)
"unhinged and unlikeable" are charismatic traits nowadays. Those are exactly the personality aspects people believe are necessary and find attractive in truly innovative leaders, like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. They read as hard-nosed sincerity and truth, no bullshit. The unreasonable man to which the world must yield.

Hell, we recently elected a President almost entirely because he was the biggest asshole in the room.

Speak for yourself. This seems to be mostly an American problem.

>>shiroi+or1
The rise of right wing parties all over the world suggest it's not a uniquely American problem, unfortunately.

While I might disagree with the political opinions of those right wing parties, I've never seen any of them show complete incompetence and stupidity to the level of suggesting that people inject themselves with bleach to cure a virus.

Chlorination of the gene pool in the most literal of senses.

>>shiroi+or1
Both Europe and Asia have their own problems with authoritarian, strongman-type fascists.

While he never suggested injecting bleach, may I introduce you someone incompetent, and unable to keep his mouth shut before blurting out racist nonsense.

Boris Johnson.

Nowadays? It goes back millennia.

>>shiroi+YB1
That is an actual lie

The quote is

> Right. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you're going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.

I guess if you want to argue about the true meaning of "something like that" or "to use medical doctors with" injecting disinfectant.

Nothing says innovative leader like taking something a bunch of other people were already doing and doing it the same with added sociopathy on top.

Guess you looked it up, realized your mistake and want cover anyway
