A media ecosystem that focuses on engagement vs. enlightenment will get you to whatever conclusion sanctifies your beliefs. The recent murder of a health insurance CEO immediately triggered my go-to thought: The shooter had to be one more alienated and overlooked young man, another product…

Scott’s away this week on a safari. I’m not sure what a Prof G safari looks like, but it likely involves tented camps with fine china, Zacapa, and remote NAD treatments. In his absence, I’m keeping the lights on. Yes, me, Ed Elson, Scott’s 25-year-old…

Jaguar, a brand that’s been in a coma for years, is trying to wake up … and it’s gasping. The car-free “Copy Nothing” kickoff video and the rollout of a pink concept EV at Art Basel Miami have inspired well-earned mockery. The launch rivaled Elon’s…

The Last Swing Voters The catastrophizing, from both sides, re “The end of America” if s/he wins is obnoxious and recognizes neither history nor the resilience of the U.S. We’ve survived much worse than her/him. However, it’s clear that, as in any election, some groups…
