I much prefer to toil away in secret. I'd rather be a king-maker than a king. The lack of scrutiny affords me greater latitude and latitude is very valuable. Begrudgingly I had to open a social media account a few years ago to do some in-public stuff, but I'd rather not have.

It might be the narrative bias of revisionist history but it seems like there’s a trend of bombastic good-for-nothing leaders against get-stuff-done lackeys and quiet leaders.

I almost despair at hearing what i want to hear now because it probably means what i want isn’t actually being done.
