We used to have smart guys in competition. Edison vs. Tesla.
Not we have rich business savy guys with not much of a science background holding the cards.
I have met very few wealthy men, young or old, who had great ideas. It's almost like the money dulls their brains? And their vanity projects are usually way out of their wheelhouse.
It's the same with Writers. I have read very few wealthy guys shop could write. They certainly have the time to write, but it's dribble. They are only read because they have money.
