There’s little doubt Musk is a narcissist and a sociopath, but his ramped up use of NPC makes me suspect he’s a solipsist, too. He’s the protagonist in a world where others are simply programmed responses, not thinking, feeling individuals. This fits neatly with his belief that our universe is a computer simulation. Musk happens to…
Unlike cynicism, hopefulness is hard-earned, makes demands upon us, and can often feel like the most indefensible and lonely place on Earth. Hopefulness is not a neutral position either.

They are tearing up many equity initiatives because they discriminate via skin colour, they are therefore “racist” and socially divisive. When, in fact, they discriminate…
Americans are beginning to demand more than just Trumpism. Trump. His endless stream of Big Lies, his unhinged rants, his vitriol. They are starting to sense it doesn’t go anywhere, lead to anything, that it’s just a dead end for them, in the soul, and for their society. This is why Trump’s schtick now feels old. Isn’t even met…
Like I said… Thiel is looking really incompetent when it comes to politics. There are four faces featured here: Trump, Musk, Thiel and Epstein. Thiel has now become the visual shorthand for evil – along side Epstein.
