The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

a great deal of evidence that having net worth of many billions of dollars in no way prevents people from becoming unhinged, and strong reason to believe it drives them in that direction

When the richest guy in the world thinks differently than almost everybody who has less than him, that the richest guy in the world is unhinged is not the conclusion I reach. Especially when he keeps getting richer.

However, conclusions like that do support in me the idea that there's a lot of people who value going along with their crowd more highly than figuring out where exceptional performance comes from.

I could be wrong.
