Nouriel Roubini is basically like another Harvey Weinstein except with more hair and less moneyhttps://twitter.com/TuurDemeester/status/1050812463497785344 …

I very much respect the people posting in this thread, but I'm not crazy about criticizing Roubini's personal life. He hasn't been accused of forcing himself on anyone, so if he likes women and women like him I don't see the issue. I'd rather criticize his professional work.

It's from an "unnamed source" (no comment from Porizkova) & at worst portrays him as creepy (very different from an abuser like Weinstein). His comments on women "not being allowed" in "blockchain" were preposterous. Respectfully though, I think personal life criticism is bad.

And they opened him up to criticism about his treatment of women.

That's a good point, so it's fair to criticize his vulgar choice in wallpaper or say he's a cheesy pickup artist. But comparing him to an abuser like Weinstein is too much based on what we actually know about him.

He treats women like hookers. He lives the lifestyle of a serial woman abuser.

I respect the hell out of you, but strongly disagree on this point. It's not fair to draw a line from a guy being a "donjuan" to an abuser. His comments to Congress were false & misleading. He's worthy of mockery for his lifestyle. But I can't get behind comparing to Weinstein.
