Henry Kissinger recently had a birthday party.
Did people really come to see Kissinger? Not alone. They also come to see other powerful people. They went to see Tony Blinken, and Samantha Power.
And that's why socially ostracizing bad people is so important. If Blinken said "you’re a bad person, I’m not coming," the party would shrink and wither, with Kissinger's reputation.
This is why it’s not just bad people who block progress—it's also people who are respectful and nice to bad people.
