[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]JD Vance was professionally adopted by celebrity Amy Chua, who with her husband runs a weird little coven at Yale LAw School. He broke into the pseudo intellectual celebrity circuit, which got him a fake job at a VC.

These people have no skills except hobnobbing.[/quote]

Socializing effectively is a sign of high interpersonal intelligence.

E.Q. is more important for career success past a certain base level of smarts.[/quote]

Interesting, I am a very personable and have always made friends easily, but I’m not conventionally attractive (basically by buddies say I belong in the lab since I look like Igor — I mean not deformed, but short with exaggerated features). Vance is super tall, which always helps having presence, but I am not sure how good looking? His wife is beautiful so I have to think that speaks a bit to his looks.

I guess finding a mentor was a crucial bit of sounds like; I think I always felt like I didn’t belong so was somewhat shy around authority — maybe that was his skill, he carried the confidence to be noticed by Chua?[/quote]

He didn't "find a mentor" - he allowed himself to be bought by Thiel. Vance understood that he was being given time and space to write a memoir that would entitle him to run for public office, and the trade off was that when he ran he would belong to Thiel. Thiel has bought himself the Vice Presidency, and, he hopes, the Presidency.

Chua didn't notice his skill - Chua noticed that he had a story that could be sold politically - kid from the wrong side of the tracks goes into the military and used the GI Bill to go to college. smart kid, so he gets into a good law school where he falls in live with a person of a different ethnicity and faith. There he is - a patriotic war hero who is living the American dream and values.... which he then sold out, changing his politics (previous dislike of Trump) and faith to be a more attractive political candidate.

That's not what I call skill:it's what I call the con. He is exactly the kind of inauthentic politician everyone says they hate. [/quote]

War hero? He was placed on desk duty during a hot war, a spot where intel puts kids they’re grooming. And he just coincidentally moonlighted while on desk duty writing for a neocon rag. Then he goes to Ohio State, interns for Republicans on the hill and links up with think tanks, and somehow graduates in two years. Nothing about this doofus is organic.[/quote]

Sorry, I was being sarcastic when I said “war hero”. Any man who serves in the US military can use it as a testament to his patriotism whether or not he was actually in the fight.

As an aside, that is why men fight to keep women out of the service and, in particular, out of combat roles. Military service in combat is a fast track to high political office if you want to use it that way. [/quote]
