"If civilization flourishes in this century, It will have been because of the will of ~1,000 dudes in SF, LA, and D.C."

I just like really don't want to click that link.
Can you screenshot or give more context?

I reflexively downvoted this post because that tweet/reply is so appalling.
Peak narcissism.
