Elon Musk must be dumb too...Mark Zucky, Jeff B, Bill Gates...they must all be dumb, just have tech money...
Why would you think being smart and being rich are linked?
What a weird fucking idea. Lots of people are smart at one thing and dumb about another.
Or good at one thing but dumb about all kinds of shit.

But no, I am talking specifically about his dumb statements about war and about abundance.
That's a very specific kind of stupid and ignorant that you see a lot in techbro circles/ venture capital types / etc.

Lots of smart people are very dumb about some things and people often hang out in circles that reinforce some very dumb ideas about the world.
This guy is either tech money or hangs out with tech money a lot (or follows them on podcasts and what not). You can just tell by the shit he's saying.

What exactly was dumb from his statements about war and abundance? There were no war when Trump was president, If the claiim was Putin was BFFs with Trump, why not attack Ukraine while Trump was in office?
A lot of Hollywood people support Kamala. what exactly from her policies do they support? I mean, she hasn't said anything other than giving away $$$ which don't affect them...
So is it safe to say Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Samuel L Jackson are all dumb for supporting Kamala? I mean these people have talent but are dumb on politics...

Everything?
We were rich, so there was less incentive to go to war is just a weird thing to say.
Especially since we were in a war the whole time.
(Let alone conflicts the US doesn't define as wars.)

It isn't surprising, he's a "Classical Liberal".

There were no war when Trump was president,
Sure there was.
The US was at war and Trump escalated numerous conflicts that aren't officially classified as wars.
Trump also made very clear that he thinks the US should have a military so strong people are afraid of it and that the US should commit war crimes in conflicts it does get involved in.
Luckily, the generals stopped him from starting new wars, but as we've seen in this campaign, he doesn't intend to allow that again.

If the claiim was Putin was BFFs with Trump, why not attack Ukraine while Trump was in office?
Because they are BFFs.
Trump was hampered because his Russia ties were outed, but he was still not doing much to impede Putin.
Why would Putin waste military resources he didn't need to use while Trump was in office?

A lot of Hollywood people support Kamala. what exactly from her policies do they support?
I mean, she hasn't said anything other than giving away $$$ which don't affect them...
What does that have to do with what this guy is saying?

So is it safe to say Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Samuel L Jackson are all dumb for supporting Kamala? I mean these people have talent but are dumb on politics...
I am sure lots of Hollywood people are dumb about politics and if they talked about international relations they would come off every bit as badly as this guy does.

Policies ya...people need to be reminded about Trump. Two Impeachments, civil liability for sexual assault and fraud, 94 felonies with 34 convictions, continuous lies at a level never seen, married three times and cheated on all three wives, blames everybody else for everything, never accepts accountability, an arrogant conceited selfish human.

What countries have this type of person as their leader?

I think you speak from experience 😂
Absolutely from experience.
If you travel between multiple circles you see this happen all the time.
It's a very common thing people do. It's quite normal.
That's why you need people to challenge each other from time to time - especially powerful people who aren't used to being challenged.

What does this mean?

Tech money, like most money, usually requires intelligence.
No it doesn't.
It requires money.

But even if you actually believed tech money required intelligence, that wouldn't mean you would expect a tech money person to be smart about things not related to tech money.
Thinking "they're good at making money, so they must be smart about foreign policy and politics" is just a hilariously goofy thing to believe.

Smart people develop good idea(s), investors invest in it, it becomes successful and generates money.

But even if you actually believed tech money required intelligence, that wouldn't mean you would expect a tech money person to be smart about things not related to tech money.

You said "must be tech money" and still haven't explained what your statement means.

There's only two types of money... smart money and dumb money. The latter go broke.

Right.
Being smart doesn't have to be part of it.

You said "must be tech money" and still haven't explained what your statement means.
It means big money connected to the tech industry and its norms and culture.

There's only two types of money... smart money and dumb money. The latter go broke.
Which again argues that just because someone has money doesn't mean you should think they are smart.

thinking that part time drama teacher "must be smart about foreign policy and politics" is even more hilariously goofy thing to believe.

I see where this is going.

Your opinion on who is dumb depends on whether you agree or disagree with them.

Ironically you're here trying to convince people that Kamala is smart enough to be president.

The norms and culture of tech money with regard to politics and foreign policy is what exactly?

Watching these cowardly businesses reminds me of these quotes From Timothy Snyder whose written award winning books on how fascism comes to democracies:

"Citizens should not obey in advance. Much of fascism is a bluff — look at our loyal cult, listen to our outrageous language, heed our threats of violence, we are inevitable! Hitler was good at that sort of propaganda. Yet to gain power he needed luck and the errors of others. American fascism, likewise, is far from inevitable. It too is largely bluff, most of it digital. The internet is much more fascist than real life, which is discouraging. But we vote in the real world. The crucial thing is the individual decision to act, along with others, for four months, a little something each day, regardless of the atmospherics and the polls and the media and the moods.

Big business should support democracy. In the Germany of the 1930s, business leaders were not necessarily enthusiastic about Hitler as a person. But they associated democracy with labor unions and wanted to break them. Seeing Hitler as an instrument of their own profit, business leaders enabled the Nazi regime. This was, in the end, very bad for business. Although the circumstances today are different, the general lesson is the same: whether they like it or not, business leaders bear responsibility for whether a republic endures or is destroyed."
