when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

I think that Elon Musk is an object lesson in moral philosophy.

Like, he's the epitome of self-interest; the closest thing real life can produce to a Randian hero. And by any reasonable standard, he's won at life! He's the richest man ever to live, and he's getting richer; he controls the channels of information and communication; the government of what remains the world's only superpower waits on his command. If capitalism had a victory condition, he would surely have achieved it. And yet...

He's empty. He's an absolute sucking void of neediness. His own children hate his guts. He pays professional gamers to run up impossibly high scores in every game under the sun because the pale glow of being praised by epic bacon chuds online is the closest thing that he can feel to love.

Like. I can't tell you what a soul is, but I think you neglect it at your peril.

[quasi-normalcy]

And it's not just Elon Musk! There's a reason why the stereotypical Dictator is a rampaging egomaniac who renames things after himself and puts up statues of himself everywhere and surrounds himself with flatterers and corrals huge crowds into chanting his name and applauding with impossibly wild enthusiasm at his rambling speeches, and it's because they are All. Fucking. LIKE THAT.

The urge to glorify yourself, to place yourself above others, to exert control over others, is an urge that can never be satisfied, because no matter how much you feed it, it will grow bigger proportionately.

And even if you succeeded utterly; even if you became a God; even if you could exert absolute control over everyone's mind to the point of forcing them to genuinely love you; even if you could control every quantum of energy in the universe and reconfigure them to fit your individual will...what then? Do you think it will satisfy you? You'd be functionally equivalent to someone sitting alone in a room, writing stories about how everyone loves them. It's pathetic.

[quasi-normalcy]

And in fact I would argue that seeking to put yourself above other people is inherently going to leave you empty, because egotistical as you may be, you've adopted a values system where your sense of self worth intrinsically depends on other people. Congratulations, you played yourself.

the person that you could’ve been or the life you could’ve lived isn’t real. it’s an illusion and a fantasy that only exists in your head. all you have is here and now
