Scott Galloway is a perfect example of perhaps the most pernicious people in society: the stupid-smart person. Educated beyond his intelligence. Smart enough vocabulary to justify his ego and smugness, but too stupid to understand basic realities of communists. Smart people internalize history and make good decisions. They also know the dangers of hubris. Stupid people don't know enough to even opine on the issues in the first place, so their stupidity isn't a threat. But the stupid-smart person can teach at NYU, he can build a big successful business, he can even give a good TED Talk, but he's not smart enough to see the limits of his own capacities...so he asserts himself in society with an outsized level of confidence. Sadly, he's articulate enough to fool lots of people into elevating his stupid ideas...and that's the problem. People listen to the stupid-smart guys, like him. Then they're genuinely baffled when there's a Kalashnikov pointed at their head as they're staring at a cinder block wall behind the politburo headquarters. In a functional society, this clown would be a pariah. I have precisely zero empathy for his plight in NYC. He endorsed it. Now he can eat it, good and hard.
