Strange exchange between David Sacks and Jason Calacanis in this week's All-in podcast, centering around a disagreement while talking about geo-politics and BRICS nations. Jason repeatedly miss-hears Sacks, quite clearly purposely trying to put words in his mouth. Saying his opinion was disgusting, when in fact he had been describing the opinion of others (~58:00), not his own. Very weird interaction in an otherwise enjoyable and informative show.
It had a sort of joking-not-joking kind of vibe to it, though Sacks wasn't overly eager to correct the mis-understanding, which makes me think there could be more to it. I think Jason came away from it looking like a power hungry moderator doing a flex. But he also changes his tact right at the end trying to get Sach's opinion on the subject. Seems like a very underhand way to get someone to reveal their cards. Why is he picking a fight, why is he playing a bad guy here? #
