In some ways he and Elon are the ultimate tests of "deep state," meant loosely to include markets and all these sprawling systems of decentralized power that can stigmergically coordinate to enforce their interests.
Can you in fact "just do things"? Or will "the system" keep you in line?

I think it's really unhealthy
To me, the response to global postmodernism (ie a crisis of meanings) is a new localism
Because when you get concrete and local, words and systems DO mean things, they ground out in real and consequential ways for the organisms that inhabit them

Horrific things have always been happening, somewhere in the world, and the only thing that changed in the 20th C is global news networks, which do not have their viewers or readers interests at heart, but instead serve up a complex neurochemical cocktail, moreish as a proper drug
Paying attention to shit that doesn't affect you and that you can't affect is the definition of insanity

Everywhere I go on the Continent. Young people are defacing beautiful marble with the words Free Palestine. Now I think what is happening in Palestine is horrific as does anyone with a heart but to make your own local space uglier cruder and more profane in an impotent screech against injustice a thousand miles away is to me metonymic for a widespread dysfunction. It is like family members burning bridges over Thanksgiving quarrels. The local order breaks down into dysfunction and there is no appreciable effect on the distant issue.
so, the swill vomited up by the bourgeois academy as a replacement for rigor?

Can you help me to understand it?

I am only trying to say that I think "Above my paygrade" is a good stance for an employee of the world, and that we can't all be upper managers who steer the great global ship.
That democracy works better at the municipal scale than the international scale.
In Brazil often I felt that people had a different attitude they took a tremendous amount of pride in their work, in their modest corner of the world.
In America everyone thinks they're destined for greatness they're God's answer to the world's problems.

Can turn naughty
Neither is wrong. It's just the chances of making it as the latter are slim and the amount of work required is more than most can handle. Not to mention you also want to be fit for public consumption at the same time because talent and product are only part of the equation. You'll probably have a better life as the former. Burning bright is expensive.
