“I took Hillary Clinton’s Masterclass in ‘resilience’”
16th December 2021
At some point near the one-hour mark, wooziness strikes. It’s that voice, that shrill drone. You can only take so much before the mind constricts and the room spins into a hall of mirrors. You’ve got to get out, go for a walk, get some fresh air, because there’s still two more hours left of Hillary Clinton’s Masterclass, titled “The Power of Resilience,” and we’re still unsure if anyone has yet managed to hobble across the finish line.
We love resilience — but as a quality, not a lifestyle. Hillary fits the latter. Masterclass, a sort-of TED Talk platform that will ring you nearly $200 a year for a subscription, appears to be, like TED, a place crafted for those who live perpetually with their nose against the glass at Davos — less of a Who’s Who and more of a Who? of grasping neo-liberalism, self-conscious black excellence and people who get their personality from their choice in eyewear.
