Hook
Professor, who do you think actually controls JD Vance? Um, I think JD Vance is first and foremost a product of the meritocracy, just like me. Um, I did read his memoir, uh, Hillbilly Elegy, and I read it, um, you know, before he became politically prominent. And I read it, and I'm like, this is very similar to Barack Obama's book, Dreams from My Father. I read both, and I read Hillbilly Elegy, and it seems almost he's manufacturing himself in a way, um, to have a political career. And so I made a prediction when I read the book that this guy probably wants to be the next Barack Obama, and he'll probably be President of the United States one day. Um, if you read the book, um, well, first of all, it's really well written. I'm not sure if you've read the book, but it's really, it's really well written, but it's also really manufactured. Um, he seems to be trying to please as many people as possible. And so I think his issue is that as a part of the meritocracy, his main ambition in life is to please others. So, uh, whoever is in proximity to him, he will just try to please. And by the way, this is no different from Barack Obama, right? Barack Obama in his, uh, campaign, he promised hope and change. And what did he do? Well, the first thing he did was he appointed, uh, to resolve the, um, financial crisis, people like Tim Geithner, uh, Larry Summers, the same people who caused the financial crisis in the first place.
