It’s a troubling sign of the modern political culture that being repeatedly and horrifically wrong about important subjects doesn’t seem to make one less popular as an advisor. In fields where the subjects of professional analysis are granular and readily quantifiable, making crucial mistakes over and over again is a clear pathway to unemployment. Yet when the subjects are expansive and globally important, such as the politics of war or climate, repeated errors apparently aren’t worth notice.
