I mean, game on - but the crazy person is going to get in your face to try to get rid of your demons, and then someone is going to record it, so I'll just listen to the fucker with the tambourine and horn screaming about the walls of Jerico and try to make the people from out of town feel better...

I mean, stares in ignoring this trash on the Metro...

far and away I think the single most consequential failures of the 20th/21st century environmental movement was going anti-nuclear. to a great extent we literally chose climate change.

Is this a good time to mention that in college my History of Translation lecturer (Michael Cronin) told us that one of the first vernacular translations of The Illiad was into Irish, and the translator had to give the main characters dogs because in Gaelic society a free man had a dog

A simple, pro-gamer move is to just ignore criticism! "The lion does not concern itself with the braying of hyenas" is a piece of advice I got from a military leader for social media engagement (which I don't take, but I'm also an anonymous pottery shard who is screaming into the void).

If you look at Musk, or JK Rowling, or some of the VC types out there, their aggressive hatred of critics exemplifies their intense desire to have elite agreement with them; that their success and money should earn them deference. It's a strange insecurity and seems pretty pervasive.
