Joe Lonsdale on ESG

]I]n practice, what happens like anything else is ESG is a form of power, and the power becomes captured politically and used towards different ends.  And so a huge part of our corporate world, a huge part of the Fortune 500, is virtue-signaling to try to get free resources, to try to get basically rewarded based on the fact that a lot of institutions are now captured by these ESG frameworks.
