There's an assumption that 30 under 30 means "here are 30 vetted folks under 30" instead of "here are 30 people with less than 10 years experience lapping veterans, take note" -- and that note is either a techtnonic shift in an industry the old guard is asleep on, or... something else.
Given the incident rate, maybe there's a more profound shift in our society. I hate the term post-truth, but maybe financiers are either more gullible, or more willing to look the other way? Nah, it's just the cheap money and the end of it will fix this up in a jiffy.
- oofta-boofta 3y agoMy old boss got written up in the local business journal's "40 under 40". To say that she's a miserable ass of a charlatan who made my work life (and pretty much anyone she's encountered) hell, this comment jives.
- WastingMyTime89 3y agoThe issue is not post-truth. By definition, you can't be a celebrated avant-gardiste. The people who will be lauded as precursors in the future are necessarily out of sync with what is fashionable today. That's why list aimed at celebrating promising people are doomed to be wrong more often than not. Amusingly, it also means that extremely fashionable people are less likely to be highly remembered in the far future than people marginally famous.
