The best language is complete, succinct, orderly and clear. And never adds a single goddamn thing ever.

But the format is open ass. Ripe and steamy.

But it’s just talk. Just. Talk.

Meanwhile in the real world other CEOs create investment products, home furnishings and consumer entertainments. While Musk creates spaceships. Yes, those other guys look damn petty in comparison. And by petty I mean small. Do I need to underline my point again?

this is a really dumb question.

And you asked so nicely. How can I refuse?

Reddit is the best thing to ever happen to big governments. It’s wonderful for mind-control and surveillance. They are subsidized by the intelligence apparatus of USA, China, Great Britain and lots of other countries.

Yes, he’s doing it. And all those other guys aren’t (in fact they look rather petty in comparison). So yes, I give him credit. Bigass credit.

I think they do it because getting you to go to the thing is the point, not watch the thing. Once you’ve gone to the thing they just want you to go to the next thing. Watching the thing is just wasted time for them.

It probably has to do with maximizing your exposure to advertising.

I think it’s the power of social media. People living in echo chambers. Their minds are turning into perfect crystal. Full of all the right ideas. Full of certainty about what’s right and wrong, real and unreal. Perfect and logical yet constrained to a tiny box. Brittle. Vulnerable to cracking at the smallest shock.

I have had similar thoughts.

Consider, a really nice ideology. Full of politeness, good behavior, acceptance, tolerance, liberality and positive ideas.

But the ideology is transmitted via powerful propaganda, threats, conformity and totalitarian stuff.

So it isn’t actually so nice.

Like he’s doing more to run it than you are suggesting.

I think yr kinda pulling that out of your ass there. I think there’s more to it.

Visit a house where they have the tv on all the time. Commercials and everything. It’s harsh.

I jolly roger everything. No commercials.

Why is saying bad stuff on twitter more important than sending rockets into space?

But he runs a space program. Doesn’t he get credit for that?

Disney World.

Yes, big value is synonymous with worth lots of money

Sure, I’m cashing them in later today.

That probably covers it sufficiently. Translations for non-sexual contexts is easy.

Excellent. An opportunity to elaborate my thingy.

By impress I mean that the thing looks big. People are impressed by big strong stuff.

Stuff that has big value is worth a lot of money. Thus money is based on people being impressed.

For good and ill, one’s self-worth is generally based on how much attention you get and how much nice things people say about you. Thus self-worth is based on people being impressed.

Law is based on impressive arguments, impressive authorities, impressive force, impressive majorities.

Models of reality are likewise. Arguments, axioms, authorities, experiments, observations.Somebody is impressed and the hypothesis gets promoted to theory or whatever.

That’s where I’m going with that. People are being impressed. Majorities are getting impressed. Impressive people are being impressed.
