Haha sorry for the typo

I actually loved watching it burn down specifically because of those guys’ hubris.

One thing that I hate about my generation is this belief that an idea is all you need. Not experience, execution, wherewithal, knowledge, etc.... just this concept of “if we have an idea anything is possible!!!1!!1!one!!”

I’ll never grow old of watching people like the Fyre team, Groupon, Elizabeth Holmes, etc let their greed and hubris pave the way for their downfall.

What a disaster. It’s not like he had good intentions, but bumbled his way through the execution. He actively lied and deceived people with intention and had absolutely no remorse like a straight up sociopath. This wasn’t Millennial naïveté. He knew exactly what he was doing despite several warnings from industry professionals and several opportunities to shut the whole thing down. You know he will go straight back to conning people when he gets out. I can’t believe his gf is sticking by him. Yikes!
