Probably. But the point I’m making isn’t that he isn’t a sociopath, just that many of his affectations function as emotional hooks. In the video I posted above he fires out something like “I wish you’d invite more intelligent guests,” or something equally glib. The whole rhetorical device that his persona serves is designed to ensnare you into interacting with him with anything other than dispassionate criticism.
Of course, I’d go further and say that there is no real Milo underneath pulling the strings, this version of him is just a carefully designed exaggeration of his pre-media self, group tested by his detractors that shout the loudest and whatever gains most response gets amplified to caricature.
Or, y’know. He likes beads.
Maybe both.
