I CREATED AN ADVISORY COUNCIL OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE WILDLY DIVERGENT VIEWS.

HAS AN ADVISORY COUNCIL OF PEOPLE WITH WILDLY DIVERGENT VIEWS EVER ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING?

I ASKED THEM THE SAME THING.

OPINIONS WERE MIXED.

HOW DO THEY EVER AGREE ON ANYTHING?

THEY DON'T NEED TO AGREE. I STILL MAKE ALL OF THE DECISIONS.

OH. YOU MEAN YOU ARE USING THEM AS COVER FOR DOING WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO.

I WAS HOPING IT WASN'T OBVIOUS.

WE CAN PRETEND IT ISNT.
