    Demonizing people is dangerous because it leads us to miss when we make the same mistakes.

    In the past I’ve had an idea for a project at work or as a hobby. But when I look into it a bit closer, maybe I got the idea from something I’ve read where it didn’t turn out well. It’s easy to say: I’ve been warned so I’ll avoid the problems and it’ll turn out okay. But that’s why collaboration and review is so important, because it provides a more objective perspective.

    If anything, I’d guess that oligarchs have these terrible ideas because they surround themselves with enablers who aren’t objective.
