  Literally insane. People will listen to anyone with money like somehow having wealth means one's ideas are worth listening to.

  The perfect irony of his maximal free speech ‘your highness’ but allowing no recordings. Completely tracks. “The UK is arresting 30 people a day for offensive speech. I’m sort of always in favor of maximal free speech, but my one concrete test is whether I can talk about the antichrist. If I can’t, that’s too restrictive.”

  Could be himself be the one he speaks of?

  Even while we have major methane leaks in Antarctica, which is the stuff that runaway events are made of, he and his ilk still say that climate change a lie, when in truth they're the ones doing the lying.

  Fwiw, he will turn 66 in '33. Tell me that's a coincidence.
