He might sincerely want to say "something" but he's just a guy selling overpriced sneakers and noise mislabeled as music, so he'll swerve and weave but at the end of the day he'll return to his vomit.
Well I was about to leave the ether-world and just happened to catch this post, and first, man are you articulate! That is some first-class erudition. And you are of course dead-on right in your approach to the whole insane celebrity-worshipping vapid world in which Kanye West or Elon Musk or Herschel Walker can dominate the brain-waves of a nation. (Can you imagine Herschel Walker in the US Senate?)
So now I'm going to take the dog for a walk - it's a beautiful brisk Fall day here - and not give another thought to this media-obsessed world.
ps, what a huge percentage of people - especially young people (ie, under 76) - who can't even walk down the street without their eyes glued to their little eye-phones. What are they reading? Another breathless tweet from Ye? Trump? MTG? Look out, the Communists are coming? Or special offers at MacDonalds?
Maybe we need a complete collapse of the whole electronic-information-system as a wake-up call; it might be a good soul-rescuing catharsis for humanity. (But not so good for our little substack newsletters, eh?)

This is either the logical endpoint of the incentives built into the internet or the logical endpoint of the enlightened centrist meme.
The scary part is how many people listen to him and take him seriously.
And you're right, he's just another conman grifter. But if you knock it, they'll say you're knocking free enterprise and call you a Communist.
I'm taking the dog out for a walk, get my mind right.
I don't think much of YE. Seems like Twitter had enough of him though to give him the boot again.
Just testing the limits of Elon's free speech policy.
Two clowns going loggerheads
You gotta be pretty out there for Alex Jones to be the "reasonable" one

OK, rock on TGFTI.
Thank you for the kind words! I assume they're mostly looking at memes and Tik Toks.
