That quote comes from Lord John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, who lived between 1834 and 1902.
Here’s a great interview with David Sacks, who will be Trump’s new AI and Crypto Czar and Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. He is one of a few openly non-Woke tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley.
Update: In the comments, Joe Butson recommends the All-In podcast, featuring David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, and other interesting folks.
Thanks for posting this Robert. David Sacks is part of the All In Podcast, not to mention that he is a very successful investor and Silicon Valley (SV) insider. For me, it is usually a weekly can’t miss dose of reality. For the last 18 months it has covered the economy, the culture, the investment landscape and hosted democrats and republicans in the run up to the election. I’ll add a link and SDA followers should be sure to select their preferred episodes from the list which is hosted on X.com and cross posted to. He and and Chamath Palihapitiya were converts to MAGA and bucked consensus SV to support MAHA and MAGA. I think the SDA crowd will gravitate to the mainly conservative and anti-woke pov.

Frank Herbert put it plainly…Power Corrupts the Corruptible…
He’s also the kind of idiot who has been completely wrong about Ukraine and…everything else. He’s also the kind of idiot who talks about corruption brought on by power while being appointed Czar of stuff n’ stuff.
