The anger you aim at a public figure is aimed at the wrong target. The role was open and the pay was good, so someone was going to take it. The person is replaceable. The game stays.

What is Dru's Notes?
One mental model each day in a few minutes. Habits, business, building products and thinking clearly. From Dru Riley, founder of Trends.vc.
"Don't hate the player, hate the game."
When a public figure does something I don't like, my first move is to blame the person. Then it hits me that the role was open and the "pay" was too good to pass up. Someone was going to take it.
The role pays whoever takes it. The person changes. The game stays.
Markets find agents. When a niche exists, the niche fills.
What game could you change instead of resenting who wins it?
