I suppose my posting history shows me pointing towards the absurdity of our situation.
I've always liked that quote, but if you're going where I think you're going with it :
Sorry to say but I think it's out of context compared to my original comment.
As I see it : the quote refers to small-time gossip, like :
Level-one : " Did you hear about Susan's bingo addiction ?
She goes out 6 nights a week, plays 10 cards every game until closing, and comes into work all bagged-out."
Level two : " We all had a great time at the bingo-hall last Saturday."
Level three : " Bingo is growing, as well as addictive behavior in the community. "
Whatever shred of humanity is left in "Elon", is not known or seen by the public.
"He" has become a created, and sculpted icon, a tool, a concept, a crafted "personality."
None of us can make any observations on level one, where "he" is concerned.
The OP is literally announcing that the MIC is using yet another avenue, to sucker-in yet more folks into dystopian artificial worlds, using the
newly converted fans to lead the cheerleading section.
That was all included in my first post.
My posts are short, but are crafted, and take time.
They are not like simple first-level tweets, even though I well know that is how they are read by the vast majority.
I gathered that you have no reservations, so don't let an old nut cool-down your enthusiasm.
Perhaps we will learn more with the announced announcement tomorrow ?
