      also, you don't have to write as long of a speech. Its like if you have a two page essay due, and you write a page, but increase the spaces between the words to stretch it into two pages.

    My dad and I are both in academia for chemical engineering. When he saw this, he immediately called bullshit. First of all, a dropout making breakthroughs is not unheard of in fields like computer science, but in biochemistry, you absolutely need the formal training. And Theranos doomed itself from the day it marketed towards big names rather than experts. If you're going to make waves in science and engineering, you first need to survive the scrutiny of the experts.

      Like it or not, your science isn't worth anything unless it's extensively peer reviewed.

    The annoying thing about Theranos was that a lot of legit companies lost out to funding because of her grift. Elements of the Theranos vision - essentially test miniaturisation, turn-around reduction and volume reduction - are being worked on. They're not aiming to have a one button press, all-in-one machine the size of an office printer, but there are companies picking away that these improvements. And they didn't get the funding because, when approached, these hedge funds were like "oh, but Thernos are doing that ... they're working with Walmart and the US Military ... why would we go with you?". So healthcare has literally lost out on this because of the grift.

      There was literally a segment about like that on Candid Camera (the original hidden camera prank show which has new versions from time to time). They went to a hill, removed the engine from a car, and had a driver put the car in neutral, coast into a gas station/repair shop, park, and tell a worker there was an issue with the car. The worker would pop the hood, notice the lack of engine, and become very confused how the driver could have been driving. I didn’t expect to see a Candid Camera-style trick used to dupe businessmen, but here we are. 🚚🗻

    Her voice drop is like something out of a horror film. Where the next door neighbor who has been super pleasant and flirty with you, invites you over to stay the night because your house is flooded. While going to the kitchen to get some beers, she's talking to you from the threshold of the dining room. As she speaks to you about how unfortunate it was that your upper restrooms pipe burst, you realize, you never told her about which room the flood originated from. She then transitions her voice to a low baritone. You turn around in an "aha!" moment. But, you turn around into the kitchen knife she has at level with your midsection. Now, you slunk against the fridge to the floor. Bleeding out onto the tile. Looking into lifeless eyes. The last THING you'll ever see.

    Holmes is an interesting case -- from the start her goal was to become a billionaire (not to change the world), which she did however briefly. She went about it the smart (but obviously unethical) way, using her charisma to convince trusted people to back her and join the Theranos board, but then also setting up her company in such a way that the board had effectively no real control over the company's operations. At first she thought up something (the smart patch) that was too obviously impossible to work so she changed her idea into the Theranos machine which was more "sellable", and went all Madoff from there.

    Theory on the ted talk pauses: In between word snippets she needs to take a deep breath to be able to manipulate her vocal chords to produce lower pitch. She's trying to appear / appeal to men and have a more commanding male / confident / authority status voice. She took a class on evolutionary bio most likely that told her deeper voices are usually linked with males with higher testosterone - in our evolutionary past they were likely the larger more "alpha" males and so more trustworthy / in charge... in principle/theory.

It's all about people overpromising without a product, lying through their teeth about features never proven to work, then never delivering anything useful after hundreds of millions of dollars were wasted (mostly on marketing) or stolen. It's all about hype and calling out people doing any criticism as "ignorant".
