    Paul Graham Retweeted Jake Tapper

    A lot of people have been retweeting this to bash de Blasio, but the more subtle lesson here is that political leaders are dumber than we realize. Domain experts need to work harder to explain the virus to them. You can't assume they understand things that seem obvious.https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1246489279091691521 …

        There are much easier ways to make money. There in it for the fame and the power, very different thing

        Maybe the lesson is that we need to elect smarter leaders

        Remember that half the population is below average intelligence. You can display intelligence but it may be taken as off-putting by some... which is why politicians are known for their slimy cunning personalities. Amiability, sincerity, and pragmatic are the things I look for.
