I'm sick with a classic cold and have to take a break. I just absorbed the VF (LONG) article about Grimes and a video about her. I posted elsewhere, my interim conclusion. Excruciatingly smart young person, outsider, goth, punk, Canadian (?) possessed with lack, poverty (yes, and so is he, or rather, anti-stuff. They barely have a mattress?) ...flirts with satanism but does not strike me as a satanist. At present.

These are neuro-tormented people. My father was one, but so different from this. He had to fight tooth and nail to appear "normal."

Elon Musk and Grimes have something "wrong" or advanced or unknown about their neuro...well, their brain and minds. "Eccentric" does not begin to describe it. I've known people like this. I would like to forge a conversation about people whose brains are not "normal" because as Elon says, so ruefully, "You wouldn't want to be me." Extremely different. Outsiders. Insiders. I can't explain what I mean. I have a fever. ok for now.

As a twitter user and also a believer in alternative views...I’m not holding my breath. A billionaire transhumanist as the saviour of free speech? Unlikely.
