I’m pretty sure I have previously shared the splendid send-up of the overwrought TED talks by comedian Will Stephen (it’s the first one below), but two days ago someone named Pat Kelly, speaking at a conference in Canada, has added to the corpus with a talk on how to imitate a “thought leader.” Good stuff. And a reminder by contrast of why Trump’s seemingly crude rhetoric has worked. (For more on this last point, see our friends at the JAG Corps once again.)
