I must admit I’ve never been able to listen to a complete #MichaelSaylor interview/video/pod. And I’ve tried multiple times with a range of hosts and a range of mediums. Jumbled thoughts, ‘American waffle’, hyperbole. In my view a very poor communicator. Not my ambassador that’s for sure. Happy to be challenged on this too.

The hyperbolic verbosity grates on me and some of his phrases which people have taken to reciting like they're quotes from the bible do bug me, but then..he does reach people, so fairs fair. Different strokes for different folks.
Great to see some challenges Stella, lucid, Matt. I’ll revisit that thermodynamics point but maybe as a YouTube clip (everything in proportion). Agree that we want as many varied views as possible and he certainly resonates with many. I know nostr:npub14mcddvsjsflnhgw7vxykz0ndfqj0rq04v7cjq5nnc95ftld0pv3shcfrlx often notes that MS really brings the crowds in terms of unique listens, so as long as the passion inspires and fishhooks SOMEONE (and most importantly someone new) then I’m all for it.
I enjoy his interviews and have probably listened to 20+ hours of them. To your point, his talking points are often more idealistic than realistic
