  • Two characters that I think had an outsize impact in putting modern society on the trajectory towards hollowness.
    • Jack Welch and Newt Gingrich.
      • "The Man Who Broke Capitalism" and "The Man Who Broke Politics."
    • Both put in motion plans that focused on optimizing for whatever was good for them, with no thought to the significant externalities.
