Was it always the case that 90% of what you heard from thought leaders was lies? it feels like there's been a change in the past 20 years. I wonder if this started with Jobs and his reality distortion field and then kicked into infinity by Trump. It seems like society has started to reward the people who tell the biggest lies, moreso then before. Like I'm not saying Dario is lying, but maybe I'm wondering, would he be able to garner as much attention if he said something less outrageous? Would he get more respect from his peers or potential customers?

Which, maybe ironically, I don't know that he knows the truth, Prediction is hard, especially about the future
