Why do you think Kate is a straight-up bitch? She doesn’t suffer fools or take anyone’s shit, and I don’t think her style of leadership (which frequently involves correcting insanely immature young people with no work ethic) would be at all questioned if she was a dude.

I feel like he should have written this book years ago when people gave a damn about ANTM.

I think it’s that she doesn’t seem to have much sense of humor. This makes her both a good bosun/leader, and annoying television. She is probably the most capable, least drama person on any of the series (including Captain Lee), but is not what we have come to expect of a reality star.

I came here to say the same thing. What little critique there is about the book seems to serve as a doorway to be vaguely hostile about Manuel.

Is the book enjoyable to read? I have had a love-hate relationship with ANTM since the mid 00's when they would blast those marathons on VH1/MTV/Oxygen. And the renewed interest in some of the problematic moments gives me so much life. My thing is, didn’t we all know it was messed up at the time?? We all lived for…

This describes the entire tech sector in general. Every single question is whether they can and no one in the room is asking if they should.

Another piece of shit tech bro, with zero morals, honor, decency but an affably open chill personality, most due to the lightly cannabis’d sociopathy.  

But, “it’s ethical because entrepreneurs do it,” is the logical equivalent of stating, “dogs are nice because my socks are made of cotton.” It’s a total non-sequitur.

Robinson countered charges that his tool was unethical by saying that exploiting legal vacuums is “what entrepreneurs do, duh,” and named AirBnB, Apple, and Uber.

I thought working at Lehman Brothers was something people tried to scrub from their résumé. 2020 truly is the Upside Down.

What always strikes me as about the “Don’t hate the player hate the game” thing is that “the game” obviously doesn’t exist independent of the players. Like, if you’re a player in this game, you should really want me to take issue with individual players, because if what I decide needs to go is the game, then I…

Saying it’s “business” or “the system” blames some nebulous non-sentient other that doesn’t really exist. People make up systems, and this person is a total douchebag who makes me want to log off forever.

“Someone else would have just made it.” Yeah, and I would be angry at them too.

“trading credit default swaps”

“Don’t hate the player hate the game” for tech bros.

Assholes. Not much more to it than that. They are slimy tech scumbags. Not creative just willing to exploit what they know is a dark tool. And that they proudly team with donkeys like the Daily Caller adds more credence to their moral decrepitude.

This tech scumbag blaming the “ism” in entrepreneurism doesn’t work for me, either, even without the morality spectrum. Saying it’s “business” or “the system” blames some nebulous non-sentient other that doesn’t really exist. People make up systems, and this person is a total douchebag who makes me want to log off…

These assholes absolutely know that their product is, at best, sleazy AF and, at worst, downright dangerous. I for one am just thrilled that a bunch of far-right nut jobs can find my home address with ease. Capitalism!

“... technically nothing is safe... “ is a false equivalence, as life is risk. She’s in a R-E-A-L-I-T-Y show, so her opinion is already biased.

So I say be smart, use your brain and do some deductive reasoning and then take precautions. But live.
