Bad Democrat

We are all familiar with the story of the college dropout who does something inventive and original in spite of the suppression of the normal path. But not everyone who does that is acting in good faith. When that is the case, it’s the story that leads us to neglect the bottom-line product and maybe four or five reservations we had about Elizabeth Holmes, that we overwrote because we wanted the story to be there. It’s a good thing we have that–it’s a sign we have hope and optimism. But we repeatedly overwrote our honest reactions to things about her and her company that were not adding up. We don’t want to live there again.
