I explicitly talked about how money would change the "data is large D or small d foreverrr" equation. I was told, no, no, this is ours.
And now Jim Messina, 2012 campaign manager for Obama, works for Britain's pro-Brexit May. History says money and power talks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I say this agnostic to whether DNC data operation was truly that bankrupt etc. My hunch is no, and Clinton is throwing them under the bus.
I'm also agnostic to no on whether Cambridge Analytica did all that they claim. But that's not the key point. The *direction* is clear.
Not everything I write stands up to time—fine and inevitable given complexity of current moment. But I stand by every word of that piece.
I learned this from my hiker/climber friends. Respect the mountain. Respect the ocean. Have a healthy fear. Same with history and power.
Some climbers who get in trouble are unlucky. But sometimes, there is of over-confidence: not enough fear of and respect for the mountain.
And history teaches us the same: Foster doubt. Don't assume permanent empowerment. Respect complexity. Overconfidence is a huge weakness.
