Apart from his actions, he's very good at his job and argues and formulates his ideas and thoughts very carefully.
He's a leading thinker in our time, because he puts his thoughts out there in a new way, he's making well-reasoned arguments and he has a platform to spread his ideas.
- lawnchair_larry 6y agoIt’s hard to square this response with what his tweets actually say. Did you read it? It turns out "Hey Alexa" is short for "Hey Keith Alexander." Yes, the Keith Alexander personally responsible for the unlawful mass surveillance programs that caused a global scandal. And Amazon Web Services (AWS) host ~6% of all websites That’s it. There is no new information or insight or “thought leadership” in that comment. We all known who Gen. Alexander is. It might as well be from anybody.
