Is Charlie Munger a fraud?
Critics accuse him of being intellectually dishonest and outdated, while supporters hail him as a genius.
Which side are you on?
>>>🧵<<<
Alright buckle up folks,
because we're about to take a ride down Charlie Munger's career.
For those of you who are Munger critics, and have a poor opinion of him (me 🤚🏼)
I'm warning you now - this thread might just make you feel even more justified in your distrust of the man
Let's start with the elephant in the room:
✅ Accusation that Munger is intellectually dishonest
Critics point to his tendency to borrow heavily from other thinkers...
and not always give proper credit
also: being accused of being overly simplistic in his explanations, glossing over important details to make his points seem more profound than they really are.
Another sticking point for many, is Munger's connection to Warren Buffett.
Some argue that Munger's success is largely due to his partnership with Buffett,
and that he doesn't deserve the accolades he's received as a result.
Speaking of accolades ↓
Munger's reputation as a wise sage of investing is not without its critics.
Some argue that his advice is too generic to be useful
What make him unique?
Then there are those who question Munger's ethics:
Some point to his involvement with companies like Coca-Cola,
which has been criticized for its labor practices and environmental impact.
Funny how the only thing that affects the environment is #bitcoin
Others criticize Munger for his association with the University of Michigan,
which has been accused of prioritizing profit over its students and employees
He has also been accused of sexism and racism, particularly in his comments about women and minorities in the workplace
On the topic of workplace behavior,
some have criticized Munger's leadership style,
arguing that he's too domineering and dismissive of opposing viewpoints.
Munger criticizes certain political issues.
Then there are those who simply find Munger to be insufferably smug and self-righteous.
They accuse him of using his wealth and influence to look down on those who are less fortunate.
Finally, there's the argument that Munger's advice is simply outdated in the modern business world.
Some critics argue that his ideas about investing and leadership are rooted in a bygone era and don't apply to today's rapidly changing landscape.
