I would like to specifically talk about Warren Buffett.
If we can determine whether we agree or disagree about whether Warren Buffett is more or less virtuous than the average billionaire, then we can have a productive conversation.
- failwhaleshark 5y agoYou're running away from the 800 lbs. gorilla in the room with low-signal, hypothetical distractions. Feel free to have that "productive conversation" by yourself.
- someguy321 5y agoTalking about the specifics of the person the article is about is talking about the signal. Creating an abstract notion of what he represents as a member of the billionaire class is talking about something entirely different, and something that is distracted by notions of class warfare, social justice, and a thousand other emotionalized predispositions. It's less accurate and less useful if you care about judging an individual as an individual.
