It's remarkable how you valorize people whose lives in large part demonstrate contempt for the values you repeatedly state as central to your own life.

Men who are bad fathers are bad men, regardless of anything they may accomplish in the public sphere on behalf of all the rest of humanity.

Men who cannot form stable honest relationships with women are seriously damaged. When you describe these two men as you do, and have previously expressed an almost swooning admiration for Andrew Tate, I wonder how you reconcile the spiritual values you write about so often with the actual behavior of these guys on the human plane of our existence.

There is no separation between the private and the public in any person's life. Someone who tyrannized his family, who left the raising of his children to four different women he spent time with only to impregnate, apparently, who let his wife provide a public image of saintly intellectualism that would be the necessary PR balance for all his own less-than-sterling morality, seen and unseen, was just a poseur at manhood.

Elon is untroubled by commercial partnerships with the worst and most dangerous government on the planet. He's building cars with such dangerous batteries as their fuel source that when they catch fire, few fire departments have the equipment that can quickly put them out.

Smart and creative he is, sure. A great guy overall, he's not.
