mannycalavera , 26 days ago to Technology in Welcome to the Age of Technofeudalism - Interview with Yanis Varoufakis

Yeah fair enough. I should say I haven't read his latest. He's been almost constantly on the European media circuit with hot takes on anything and everything from economics to science to politics to culture since the Greek economic crisis with the EU.

I used to like him in the beginning but after a while I got the impression he was the guy at the bar with a whisky and cigar in his hand telling the same story to patrons. But, my god, what a story it was!

Varoufakis likes to position himsetas a sage. Someone that "saw it coming and warned everyone but nobody listened". He likes to pop back and pretend he had solutions or influence but the world just conspired against him.

I don't know if he's wrong on this one. I do know he often sprays a bunch of doomsayer predictions and only reviews the ones he was vaguely in the same ballpark for. He's the classic embodiment of the Texas Sharpshooter fallacy and, naturally, a lot of people want to believe what he's pedaling. If he sells a few books or gets paid to give speeches here and there then so be it. After all.... he did warn us.
