Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Please sneer at this article. I thought it was pissweak myself.
Edit: "Hear me out: RFK Jr could be a transformational health secretary"
No. Next question.
this is exactly the sort of shit centrists were writing about trump in 2016. I guess they can't get away with doing that now so they're just writing the same pieces but about his underlings
It's very "should RFK Jr become a completely different person to the person he is and has been for years, he could really do some great stuff"
Jesus Christ.
This guy is a classic example of kook magnetism with a side of Dunning-Kreuger.
Job history is sus as hell too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Barsky
Some dweeb with a journalism degree gets a job at a hedge fund right out of grad school, bombs out, "goes back to" journalism. Newspapers can't get enough of this kind of guy; not surprised TERF Island's paper of record picked him up nor am I surprised that they think RFK Jr might be good actually.
With a touch of, and maybe I'm being mean, "this particular bad thing shouldn't happen to someone like me! it must be that no one else tried hard enough to fix it till now"
I thought it was particularly telling that he says someone else in the "metabolic health" world warned him not to be mean about RFK. Take that as a sign that you're in kooksville!
Ugh, but also, good point. It's like Engineer's Disease fucked The Secret and made something even worse.
I think it happens often enough when someone rich and/or famous becomes disabled or has a disabled kid. See the whole world of alternative treatments for autism.
