I chuckled at that, I assume that was intentional to prove a point but it shows a bias through the whole thing. Seems like a socialist advertisment.

The article was arguing against individualistic innovation through disruption, in favour of a collectivist innovation through collaboration. So Elizabeth Holmes was the perfect example to feed into that argument.

I immediately stopped reading after I saw her name, because it gave me the sense that the well was poisoned and not worth my time.

#7Could be from The Fountainhead. As an article written by Ellsworth Toohey.
It’s also a game of mere words. The author claims that Tesla, the company, was about “disruption“. Then, he contrasts this to true innovation, which, according to the author, is collective in nature. This is already a questionable claim (Lilienthal was laughed at when he built his first flying machines). But it also completely misses the purpose of the founding of Tesla. Which is the acceleration of the advent of sustainable energy consumption and production. How much more focused on the good of humanity as a collective can you get? (Let’s not even talk about SpaceX.)
That the author lists Elon Musk in the same sentence as Elizabeth Holmes, and does so without any qualification, to me, is testament to the fact that the author isn’t really seeking to understand anything and is merely going for clicks. Which is a pity, because the question of vanishing trust in institutions would have been a worthwhile topic.

#8"... Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos or Elizabeth Holmes..." LOL wut?
Go home professor, you are drunk :D

I had to swipe back and check the comments so unless their intention is to filter for people who already think all three are evil it's a huge distraction. I think it was a poor choice for the author because Musk and Bezos might under-deliver or deliver late sometimes, but they are not outright convicted frauds with a tendency to lie pathologically, and using that name kind of poisons the well that Bezos and Musk are in no? Holmes can't really be considered an innovator or inventor of any kind.

It seems to me that if an ant is ripped apart limb from limb after being found to be a part of a different ant colony this is not the perfect feed for an argument that ant colonies ought to have pheromones which never evaporate. The actual perfect argument would be proving that the word is stationary such that all past pheromone trails are still highly informative of the true utilities. Worse is that I find the entire structure to be suspect - so what if an at lays a new trail - this is not less collectivist for all that an individual ant laid it. The species was social and the nature of the collectivism is largely a product of the individual pheromone trails being interacted with locally.
I like this model because ants exhibit much of the mathematical structure of a reinforcement learning solution to the explore exploit dynamic in a non-stationary environment, but are simple enough that I can play the rollout in my head in real space and see the consequences.
