Ok, I will say what you didn’t: this muppet’s hire was little more than a “diversity” exercise, conveniently checking two boxes with one hire, thus his “senior” position (had he also worn a dress and too much lipstick, he would have been a “VP” of something or other). He was allowed to sit in on meetings in which they smiled and nodded at his jejune “contributions” while laughing at him behind his back, but other than that, he likely did little more than write emails that nobody read.
The irony is that he was almost certainly very well paid, and probably would have continued to receive his bonuses even if he didn’t attend any meetings, had he managed to keep his mouth shut -- he was onto a good thing, but his immaturity bested him and now he’s going to be pushing his few belongings around SF in a shopping cart within a few years.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I (thought I had to) put away childish things. But then I realized I was pretty high in the hierarchy of oppression.
I like to think of it as intelligence guided by long experience.
It doesn’t take much insight into human behavior to recognize this guy as a lightweight. On the other hand, there’s little evidence available that he’s made any kind of serious contribution to anything that would justify his position title. No awards, no citations, and, conspicuously, no peers speaking in his defense.
He had a few drinks and big-noted in the hopes of getting some rumpy-pumpy, then freaked out like an adolescent getting caught with pot in his backpack when he realized what had happened. You may see those as behaviors of a serious player, but I suspect that you might be in a very small minority.
So it’s Occam’s razor: if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and sounds like a duck then it’s most probably a duck.
But surely you’re willing to stipulate that I may possibly know quite a bit more than you do about this particular subject. To do otherwise would be speculation on your part.
It's morbidly fascinating to see the way big corporations and the political Left have embraced each other. Both find something valuable in the ghastly relationship. Corporations get feel-good public relations cover and the Left gets a degree of power that an effort in the electoral system would never, ever provide. To get that power, the Left abandoned everything that matters to the working class. Given that the vast majority of them come from the ranks of the resentful petty bourgeoisie—surplus elites, wannabes—that doesn't trouble their consciences. The big corporations, in contrast, didn't have to abandon anything that matters to them, whether notionally or in reality. They subsist primarily on rent-seeking and have for quite some time. It's easy for them to absorb hysterical mediocrities like the Pfizer Pfool. There does not appear to be a good way out of this. The political economy itself is geared towards the survival of these parasites.
“Rent seeking (or rent-seeking) is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain added wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity.”

Dear Practical Genius (who claims he is all thumbs but probably just needs some hands on experience or a visit from Mike Rowe. Anyone smart enough to be a Theoretical Physicist can do pretty much anything not requiring physical ability, if they put their mind to it).
I too was sceptical that Jordan Trishton Walker was a Pfizer executive. And still am. OTOH, Joe Biden is POTUS, so in this upside down world it seems anything is possible. Or should I say likely.
I do not question the utility of asking questions. My most effective cross-examinations consisted mainly of questions. It took me a long time to learn that it is better to let a Judge think it was his belief first rather tell him what to believe and asking questions is a good way to facilitate that process.
But where does one go to find the answers? Google is not honest. It is political. Sorry Rudolf, it is Leftist. And therefore opposed to freedom of speech. I am naively optimistic and believe it is better to be sceptical than cynical. So here are a few pertinent questions.
Who, besides Pfizer, is running the world?
Who will win the Super Bowl? And will the outcome be decided by fluke plays or officiating mistakes.
When will the rest of world stop referring to soccer as football?
"He was, I think, trying to impress a date. Who the fuck was he trying to date? Mengele?" 😅😅
I loved finding out that project veritas uses honey traps. I imagined this was the case because of the type of information people offer up. I thought they would only do this with a beautiful woman or a handsome man on the other side of the conversation.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has a big influence, likely they wanted this guy out front, qualified or not. As for the blabbing, that's how criminals get popped - they go out, get drunk, and spill the beans, someone drops a dime on them, and they wind up in jail. "If they were smart, they wouldn't be here."
The argument, as I understand it, is that for a long time white male privilege allowed incompetent white men to rise to the top, and if we think the problem with that scenario is the incompetence, we are racist.
As a racist (see above definition), I know there are many (perhaps an overstatement if not qualified with the words “rapidly dwindling”) intelligent and mature people in this world of all “races” and sexual proclivities and both genders. The problem with the current system— systemic anti racism— is that it privileges those who, in the absence of intellect and maturity, have learned to use their privileged identity alone to get ahead. And no one is going to convince me, ever, that this is no different from what a guy like Ben Franklin did with his white male privilege. Not because I’m not capable of changing my mind, but because “convincing people through reasoned argument” is not in their arsenal.
Not to mention that those "privileged white men" competed against eachother, sometimes violently and staking their life, literally so, on getting ahead.
Meaning those that were /too/ unlucky, stupid, or weak (or any blend you please) were culled, so the odds of a true Brandon making it to the top were nil unless it was as a puppet.
Whereas the competition using race (fill in the rest of the list) ensures the worst of the worst comes out on top.
"Every six months or so, we have a Talent Management meeting to review succession plans. In recent years, during these meetings, Human Resources have adopted the “Diversity and Inclusion” criteria into these meetings. HR started flashing out the gender and colour mixture of our High Potentials and Potentials. During that meeting, they will show who has the best Diversity and Inclusion of their High Potentials, Potentials and employee mix in their department.
It’s like a game of “The Wokest Department Head Wins the Game” because they started glorifying senior executives that have a nice departmental balance (i.e. 50% male high potentials, 50% female high potentials, 30% black employees, 30% yellow employees, some gays and lesbians).
Suddenly, every department head started to find “balance” artificially. There was a gradual shift from hiring based on expertise and ethics into a race of hiring genders, colours and sexual orientations.
Eventually, these candidates who identified as LGBT and had a unique skin colour started becoming like Gold Nuggets because Department Heads wanted to balance their departments. These “gold nuggets” became younger and younger because they were scarce, and that’s why you get someone like Jordon Walker, a black gay man, as a Director of Pfizer."
If I was the department head I'd answer "I've no idea how many black/female/transgender/disabled/braindead etc etc people I have in the department. All I know is they are competent, honest and have integrity and do a good job at what they are paid to do".
Mmm...did the guy in the photo at the end of your post not think to open the hood of the car from outside rather than stick his head through the windscreen? :)
Anyway, many thanks! As regards the left they are complete hypocrites. They will support huge arms sales abroad but want to restrict individuals gun ownership.
And they do seem to like the vaccines for some strange reason. Bunch of loonies.

A more fitting consequence to his actions would be, IMHO, prison.
Maybe. Pfizer would have Pfizered irrespective of his presence. He neither made nor influenced any decisions — he was a prop, no more and no less.
He could be an idea guy.
People with different skill sets would make manifest his musings.
I never sell anyone cheap.

Ah the joys of the internet. Where speculation seems almost mandatory.
I like to think of it as intelligence guided by long experience.

Long explanation for speculating.
So you are speculating that I’m speculating?
Some might call it a falsifiable hypothesis. So go ahead and falsify it.
No. I see that you are speculating. I can't falsify it. I don't know any more than you about why he was hired and I don't speculate.
But surely you’re willing to stipulate that I may possibly know quite a bit more than you do about this particular subject. To do otherwise would be speculation on your part.

I finally looked it up.
“Rent seeking (or rent-seeking) is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain added wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity.”

I, very much, like the way you put that. Thank-you.
There's a section in here about how drug companies hire people:

That would end the discussion wouldn't it?
