The journalist in this article, Steve Silberman has an entire Twitter filled with strongman rhetoric. I'm not really surprised someone with this style of rhetoric was so easily duped. I am concerned that he works for a major publication like Wired.

- alasdair_ 5y agoIt’s a remarkably impressive blurb. I especially liked the “oh, and also, in addition to all that other stuff, he has a gold record for the Grateful Dead album he produced”
