Today's Calming Influence

Scott Galloway, NYU Sterns School of Business:
As societies become wealthier and more educated, the reliance on a super being, and church attendance goes down, but they still look for idols.

Into that void have stepped technology leaders because technology is the closest thing we have to magic.

Our new Jesus was Steve Jobs, and now Elon Musk has taken on that mantle. And, every ridiculously mean, non-sensical, irrational move he makes is somehow seen as chess, not checkers - we're just not privy to his genius yet.
