>Are you a slack-jawed puppet of the charismatics, or is it just everyone else?
To make this more than just a rhetorical question, one could take a poll - who took Adam Neumann seriously, because he seems to me like the epitome of a "charismatic" who walked away stupendously wealthy from a fiasco (WeWork) without serious penalties.
I don't think I'm smarter than everyone else, but I also don't think Neumann and WeWork were anywhere near something that made sense to me.
