The Elon Musk world.

Elon Musk the most consequential figure of this time should have his own space.

Musk is the poster-child for the mistaken notion that someone who is smart in one realm is also smart in another.

Amping your lunatic political ideas and those of other idiots on your own platform doesn't appear to work well for the bottom line.

Musk is an autocratic, plutocratic, hostile/malignant narcissist...in my humble clinical opinion.

Musk and Trump have one major thing in common, they both satisfy all nine of the clinical criteria for narcissistic personality disorder.

And it's not in the least bit surprising what sorts of maladaptive behavior that somebody like you would be likely to identify as admirable about our species.

The guy is a dreamer. He is always striving to go beyond the edge of his time...hyperloop, Mars colony.

People like that are often quirky.

You are forever unhappy about our species. Our species is just part of an experiment so do not expect perfection. Long ago there was a series on TV - The Ascent of Man by Jacob Bronowski...a great series.

BTW Elon went to Russia to discuss new ideas re rockets and the Russians were condescending. Elon gave them the middle finger with subsequent achievements.

You fail to understand that success, even remarkable, possibly unprecedented levels of personal achievement and success does not eliminate the possibility of one becoming a malicious sick narcisisstic fuck. In fact the two, the success and the disease, often go hand in hand. Vladimir Putin and Musk being classic examples.

I tend to find the truth about our species more accurate from the perspective of Howard Zinn than from Bronowski. And I find humanity to be the scourge of planet earth. We are locusts with a little intelligence ans way too much technology. Wherever we go, sooner or later everything dies.

Some of the mountain nations seem to be defying your expectations. Switzerland has stayed pretty. Read up on Bhutan.
