Kara Swisher with Reid Hoffman | Silicon Valley’s Burn Book

[@frankievalentine6112]

I love Kara. So glad you had her on.

[@egx161]

Kara Swisher is one of the most self aware and confident people I’ve ever seen.

[@thamilton007]

Love Kara, she’s the best, thank you for having her!

Great guest. Remember when people used to say that "with privilege comes responsibility"? Not anymore. Jaja. I love most that she is very clear that people don't build giant businesses to do good. It is for the money and power. That's what businesses are. If you want to do good, becoming filthy rich is a bad way to start. Guest also has a wonderful appreciation of people fullness and complexity, she's able to look at someone (Bill Gates or Steve Jobs) as a complex individual with all their human faults and failings and still appreciate their achievements, innovations, intelligence or whatever. Listening to her feels way more real and human (she has humanity) than I usually experience on tech or finance youtube. Excellent. "Industrial Grievance Complex of rich people who are victims" points out the guest.

Swisher: It was capitalism, after all.Kudos

[@elizabethsoro3421]

Brilliant, brave woman.

[@maresae]

I hope I'm half as awesome as KS when I'm her age... don't have much time left ha, but what an inspirational person. Love her books, love her podcasts, love her devotion to her kids, love her. KS, you are my hero. For real. Gonna go replay old Pivot episodes now, lol.

I love you and Scott so much. It’s the only interesting thing in my day. Remarkable, sometimes.

[@angelmatos9143]

Fantastic exchange! 😎

I love Kara, but she's just lost her film knowledge cred (This is just a fun observation lol). John Lithgow was not in 1990's Total Recall. Also, in The Terminator franchise, it's Linda Hamilton. Not Linda Evans. Great discussion. Thank you.

[@laviefu0630]

Her book coverc has a style of Linda Hamilton's Terminator.

Reid Hoffman, thank you for using your money and influence for good. It’s rare for individuals of your stature and means. People with lesser means and power appreciate it. Kara, thank you for always being yourself and taking a hard and implacable stand.

Brand before substance 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

[@GaryChurch-hi8kb]

Isaacson really disappointed me with that book on Elon....I did not like his take on Hiroshima in a PBS show either.

[@egx161]

Issacson wrote Musks’ story too soon. He should have waited at least 5 years. Musks real story is yet to be revealed.

[@NewMexicanPizza]

Better is always compared with fools interpreting the math. It’s okay, bc no one’s teaching me to “white” or a “lesbian”… How awful and insensitive.

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

"One of the things," Kara, is singular. When you say, at 3:33, "One of the things were this idea..." we all go into shock for a second, worried by the fact that your brain has gone on the fritz. (Many equirers use the capital F on Fritz when they ask about its meaning. All etymologists answering the question reply with lower case, it seems. Apparently it's an onomatopoeia, the spark from a short-circuit.)

[@sandysluss7355]

WHY would a professional woman use the F bomb????

[@BrianC_]

Because she's authentic?

[@zeruchofficial]

Why not?

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

"The F bomb"?? Do you mean "the word `fuck'"? Very few people don't. 'Course the American Heritage Dictionary puts out a special edition for Texas which leaves the word out. Is that where you live? Do you need an explanation?

[@mangonut]
