So, how do we stop people lionising "strong men"? The West has a very
big problem with cults of celebrity. And we both know that's
dangerous. People put folks up on a pedestal just because they conned
some other people out of lots of money. Meanwhile we mock and
marginalise the actual quiet competence of the dying middle classes
and ordinary professionals that run things.
I think a first step is to re-evaluate "success". The billionaires are
not successful humans, as people. They are simply rich.
