      Why did early votes in Ohio favor Biden, only for later counts to tip the state in Trump’s favor? Do you think maybe it has to do with when mail-in votes were counted (early in Ohio’s case, later in Pennsylvania)? Nah - the answer couldn’t be that simple, could it?https://twitter.com/sindap/status/1327715705983209472 …

      On a Zoom call of prominent CEOs, Steve Schwarzman wondered just how Biden was able to make up the vote deficit in Pennsylvania https://www.ft.com/content/558f2a68-7d42-4702-b86d-fae5458b3e64 … pic.twitter.com/yksWJXuNEs

      Steve Schwarzman is a smart guy. He can’t be dumb enough to not understand that Pennsylvania counted its mail-in ballots last, and that people who voted by mail overwhelmingly voted for Biden, allowing him to close the gap with Trump and then pass him.

      Smart people are just as likely to believe crazy things as non-smart people, and in fact hold those beliefs more firmly (because they are better at motivated reasoning). Smart people also inhabit information bubbles.

          Or, and hear me out here, maybe he's not actually that smart. Maybe nobody in the corporate executive class actually knows what the fuck they are doing. Just sayin'....

          Find any opinion or belief in the universe and there will be both smart and stupid people who hold it. This is because IQ HAS NEVER EVER BEEN DESIGNED TO TEST THE CORRECTNESS OF OPINIONS AND YOU WOULD THINK THE PEOPLE OBSESSED WITH IQ WOULD KNOW THAT.

          You seem to think that "IQ" is "intelligence." It isn't. It's a statistical fiction. A ranking, not a measure of anything.

          @HeerJeet, You mean cognitive dissonance. People constantly rationalizing the irrational.

          It can't be true that smart people are *just as likely* to believe crazy things as non-smart people, right? Yes, there are certainly smart people who believe crazy things. And when they do, their motivated reasoning allows them to hold those views more firmly.

          Also they never ever, ever, ever, ever have to give in on a normal everyday basis. no boss, no structure of any sort to nudge them to reconsider a nonsensical opinion
