    That wasn’t an apology. He believes people are slaves, the only thing he regrets is getting caught on video saying it out loud.

    I think the news story is not that Tm Gurner apologized, it’s that Tim Gurner encountered enough backlash that he felt it necessary to pretend to apologize.

    We all know that his apology isn’t a sincere recognition of a wrong attitude, or a commitment to change. But it IS noteworthy that he apparently misjudged the public sentiment. What does this tell us? We can say that he probably doesn’t give a shit if a bunch of nobodies on Twitter call him a piece of shit. He knew and expected that when he said those things. What changed?

    It’s not really clear from the article, but my guess is that something almost inconvenienced him. Perhaps he was told that he would be uninvited to some summit where he’s on a panel. Whatever got to him, I’d like to know so we can do more of it. It warms my heart to imagine how seething mad he was when he grit his teeth and yielded to the reality that this power dynamic is not exclusively one sided as he so badly believes it should be.

      I blame the help, they feed this man, they protect this man while he sleeps, they raise his offspring, theirs is the corruption the keeps this system in place.
