Sure, the US secretary of transportation has thoughts on building bridges. But infrastructure occupies just a sliver of his voluminous mind.

His voluminous mind.

As Secretary Buttigieg and I talked in his underfurnished corner office one afternoon in early spring, I slowly became aware that his cabinet job requires only a modest portion of his cognitive powers. Other mental facilities, no kidding, are apportioned to the Iliad, Puritan historiography, and Knausgaard’s Spring—though not in the original Norwegian (slacker). Fortunately, he was willing to devote yet another apse in his cathedral mind to making his ideas about three mighty themes—neoliberalism, masculinity, and Christianity—intelligible to me.

No kidding, the Iliad, like basically everyone else in the West going back to 722.

😂😂😂😂

Buttchug has no business talking about anything masculine or Christian as the entire concept is a rebuke of his very existence.

She meant: his mind which is enslaved to the Cathedral.

This guy probably thought "he's too smart to win the presidency"

If it's anything like most other cathedrals those last two words are REMARKABLY close to the bone

I'm just curious if the author bothered to take Pete's dick out of his mouth before writing this.

"This guy reads some books! Holy shit he's a genius!"

Not anyone is allowed to read some books, let alone the Iliad - which is about a fight over a slavegirl btw, #CancelHomer. To be fair, you must have an extraordinarily high IQ to put some books in your office and pretend that you've actually read them.

I think the most annoying thing in journalism is the “as he and I were sitting in a ______” trope. Doesn’t have to be a Washington office, I hate when journos feel the need to describe the bar they met the subject in and what they were both eating/drinking. Just absolute slop writing that I suppose functions to remind the reader what incredible access the writer has and how important that makes him for normies like you.

Butt-gig, like we can see and hear him. Wired anecdotes aren't going to convince me he's intelligent.

This is the left side of the vax adoption vs intelligence graph. He just seems dumb. I don't go through a lot of exercises to prove it, but then neither did wired for their case.

And hot damn this guy is an idiot if he ever thought Democracy is inevitable.

It gets worse.

Actually, the electric truck has got more torque than a regular truck. And it’ll tow just as well.

How far, genius?

Guess they're not done trying to promote him as the future of the democratic party

This has to be a joke. It reads like a brainwashed LeFou-esque lackey waxing poetic about his chosen leader - not to highlight the leader's qualities, but to emphasize how pathetic the lackey is. It wouldn't be out of place in a Saturday morning cartoon.

I remember when Wired wrote about technology.

This must be what boomers feel when they say "I remember when Rolling Stone wrote about (rock) music"
