So apropos.
No liar, no liar! Youāre the liar!
Ah the old āI know you are but what am Iā defense.
Definitely not an idiot though
People really need to understand that āsmartā people can be stupid. Even better if they realize a lot of things they think seem āsmartā arenāt connected to intelligence OR wisdom and may not have much social value. Also Elon isnāt that smart frankly compared to the cultish hype. That doesnāt mean he isnāt smart but look in his dead eyes when he talks then look at like Sam Altman in an interview or something.
You can tell whose processing power is more efficient.
Unfortunately the world is unfair and fortune sometimes favors idiots and assholes in a way that can even make intelligence and decency a nerf for everyone else.
Waiting to see if this will escalate to āIām rubber, youāre glueā
Iāve been told Iām smart, but I do stupid things all the time. I often donāt feel very smart.
Also intelligence and wisdom are far from the same thing (as you mentioned).
For me, Grimes will forever be in the Kanye West waste bin of āwill never listen to againā as far as Iām concerned. Itās not a huge loss to me ā Grimesā stuff was fine ā but I was never a huge fan. It was a bigger waste to me when Kanye made his heel turn from talented eccentric to full on nazi sociopath almost overnight.
I actually find Kanye slightly more sympathetic if only because he is legitimately mentally ill to the point of psychosis and surrounded by enablers, literal professional victims, and grift. Heās also an asshole but thereās a legitimate problem that is affecting him too in a way that he is dangerous to himself and others. I can see how that complicates things and actually makes him paradoxically vulnerable even though I feel nothing but disgust and anger with when I hear the fucked up shit he says and does.
His music is kind of ruined but then kind of not. Like I still love American Boy, takes me right back⦠and Estelle still sounds just as good to me etc. But thereās a cloud over everything.
Grimes is just a grifty asshole and a hanger-on with some vocal talent and skill with production. But honestly if I had her skill or talent Iād rather let it rot than make the compromises she has with this world. Iām not going to demean her work because she loves to weaponize feminism against other women so I donāt wanna give her that win. But she bought into this and sheās milking it. Soā¦Fuck her. She can sit her ass down with Yolandi for all I care. Sheās an asshole who is losing an asshole fight and I donāt feel bad for her at all.
I think sheās also genuinely stupid. So less on the grifter side than the true believer side. Everything I heard her say about Elon just sounds so naive. She really thought, and probably still does, that heās a genius.
Baby, would you still love me
Out on Europa?
Or will you forget?
La, la, la, laBaby, how can I compare
To the adventure out there?Sail away to the cold expanse of space
Even love couldnāt keep you in your place
But canāt you love me like that?
Canāt you need me like that?If I loved him any less
Iād make him stay
But he has to be the best
Player of gamesIām in love with the greatest gamer
But heāll always love the game
More than he loves me
I really do feel sorry for the heartbreak that comes from falling for the wrong personā¦butā¦
I would say no, it isnāt appropriate.
Black holes are cool, theyāre majestic and implacable forces of nature. Their gravitational pull draws anything and everything, indiscriminately, even light. Theyāre mysterious and we donāt fully understand how they work, even after decades of studies and theory.
Elon Musk is a pathetic creature, desperate for attention and approval. His targets for destruction are chosen with petulance and whimsy. His biases and bigotry, his rampant narcissism and lusts for wealth and power, are obvious to anyone with eyes and sense. We know exactly what heās doing and itās not cool at all.
