But you should note that Musk did support his son's transition. He didn't just say No like some stubborn jackass. He wanted to do what was best for his son. His regrets came years after the fact. Whether those regrets are valid or not is hard for us to say.

As soon as you have children you have a massive attachment, and survival has you by the balls 10x harder. The biases of your mind skyrocket because you must put your kid's survival above everything else. Survival is what distorts the mind in every case.

If you think that Musk is some kind of evil, unloving, uncaring mustache twirling Monopoly-man, you should really rethink your understanding of him. Musk genuinely cares about and loves humanity. It just gets expressed through the particular filter of his ego. Don't forget, Musk has done a lot of good for humanity. Probably more than all of us here combined. It is easy to get distracted by his personality flaws. You should see the good in Musk, flawed though he is.

One hair of the Ox's tail

It doesn't have to be low consciousness love. If he believes that his son nearly killed himself because he was brainwashed by some radicals, that is genuine love. It's just that his understanding of the situation may be wrong. But it may also be right. You don't know. We don't have enough information to know. Maybe his son was radicalized, and if that was the case, of course Musk has a right to be upset. You can't really deny that some kids get radicalized into this stuff. It's just a question of what percentage? 1%, 5%, 10%, 30%?? Who knows? But even 1% is a significant absolute number.

That's good, but you have yet to experience the horrors of Infinity. Infinity loves to hide its horrors from you.

Of course! And you do too. If your child wanted to dress like a clown or a whore every day you would be upset. Because you have ideals for your children to meet. Because their survival is at stake. So don't judge Musk too harshly.

Then it sounds like she was already spiritually talented and integrated this insight. Or it wasn't that deep. Infinity can be viewed from many angels. Some pleasant, some not. Nice! Yeah, I get ya. I can only speak of my experience. Obviously people can have different reactions to it.

Of course Musk is exaggerating to suit his agenda, just like JP does. They take kernels of truth and then twist them into a grotesque self-serving worldview. As would be expected.

It's a moot point because 1000s are killed from alcohol each year. Millions of people using chemicals must equal death. There's no way around that. And it will happen whether it is legal or illegal.

Mushrooms are madness!! If you cannot handle madness -- and most people can't -- you will hurt yourself and others. When you take a nutcase and supercharge him with mushrooms, yeah, you can get murder. Nothing surprising here. It's like giving meth to a raging psychopath.

Of course it's possible if millions of people take them. A handful of those people will be nutjobs.

You could just ask yourself: "How can I relate to women in an authentic way?"

And there's nothing even wrong with his position. The only problem is that he wants to circumvent democracy to actualize it, and also that he is unfairly demonizing stage Green as a "woke mind virus".

Bro, Supreme Court just removed all the checks. There are no fucking checks left. The only check is not electing him.

Bingo! Thanks for posting that.

I have never felt so understood.

The desperate flailings of losers.

No. He genuinely loves his son. These things are not contradictory. If you loved your son you would not want him to turn into a girl, because that threatens survival. Musk is not wrong on that. This trans stuff does go too far sometimes.

You are right. I don't regard that as cowardice. I was just using Republican logic against them. I never think of US presidents in terms of strength or weakness, this is a silly right-wing trope. They love to call any liberal weak because they have a machismo complex. With Trump there is a deeper issue at play here: he genuinely looks up to other authoritarian leaders. What's sad is that Trump is probably friendly to Putin simply because he wants to be an authoritarian like him. And also don't forget that Trump has business connections to Russia. That is not fake news.

Fundamentally I agree that Biden's handling of Gaza has been bad. It was the worst part of his presidency.

Look man, you take what you can get. I will take Joe Walsh as anti-Trump vs pro-Trump. I know. Yeah, Joe shilled for Biden a bit much, but this is no grave sin.

Bro, that's not weakness. Biden is just a Boomer-era Zionist. I doesn't make sense to you because you ain't a Zionist.

Musk, JP, these guys... their brains function just fine.

Every day it's like fighting a tsunami of human bullshit. I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this. I am tired of it.
