I saw this over and over again, when I worked at TED. Men in tech leadership truly think that they are the first to have any thought that pops into their head, that they are the best equipped to solve any problem in the world, and that their lack of experience or expertise is actually an asset.

Ive never encountered a class of people so convinced that they and they alone have the answers to everything, no matter what the subject in question is--from higher education to medicine to art and literature. They might have no training or skill in it, but are convinced they know best
