Excellent work Sophie - I didn’t know anything about theranos at all, and agree it’s important to counter individualist interpretations - they’re used to deflect from systemic analysis. Finding myself pretty tired of individualist ideology.

2023-03-31 20:35:44 +0000 UTCLoved the video. I've seen a lot of videos/exposes/etc. on MLMs, crypto schemes, etc., and I get how they draw money in - some people are desperate, some people are arrogant, one way or another it looks like the best option for their circumstances, so they buy in. Then they're stuck in a pyramid, they throw good money after bad, get emotionally invested in the project, and you get Terra/Luna, or LuLaRoe, or whatever. How do you explain the upsettingly wealth jackoffs handing over millions and millions of dollars for technology that didn't work and could probably never work? Why do they not bring in a 3rd party designer/engineer to vet the idea first? I realize all of them are fine after having lost so much money, but it's clear from how they organize their lives that money is very very important to them. How did she swindle people with enough resources to investigate/fight off any scam? (Just curious, not planning an Ocean's 15 or anything).
