I’m just going to put this here. It’s the episode of Sean Carroll’s podcast with Grimes. I am not going to say anything about it other than “I am interested to hear peoples thoughts”.
I just remembered that at the time of the interview she was not going by Grimes, but by c the symbol for the speed of light, he said in a neutral tone, not indicating how he felt about it
Also the crap she’s defending his estrangement from his kid with, claiming the only reason he’s against the kid transitioning is because of “reproductive health” reasons.
Ah, longtermism. Once again, those future children matter, not your own!
One of the failure modes of philosophy caused by fucking around with infinities. It’s basically to philosophy what dividing by zero is to algebra.

Longtermism honestly is Pascal’s Wager, just with your own legacy in place of God. That includes the false dichotomy that you are supposed to consider this awesome thing or not this awesome thing but never any of the other possibilities that might be comparably awesome.
Good to see her unpaid internship paid off.
Just a wee bit concerned for her kids. Wonder if Xenu will allow them to repatriate.
Being a tech bro is the opposite of that. There are business leaders with old world discipline in the old world (and probably some in the new world, too). You have never heard of them unless you’re in their field.
They have built a medium sized company from scratch or have followed their ancestors into it. The company is family owned and has never been publicly traded and it is a world leader in one very specific product or service. It’s located at the edge of some village where it provides major employment but even the next village over it is basically unknown. They make things, reliably, day after day and only expand carefully if they really see it will benefit their operations
Those are the “old world” business leaders that prop up our economy despite the stupendous amounts of money being pumped into American tech bubbles.
Exactly. The exact opposite of Elon.
I’m guessing Grimes has extensive knowledge of best-practices for leadership and the like… knows what she’s talking about when she praises his abilities.
To be fair, if Taylor Swift was saying it I might believe it.
She’s not Taylor Swift
This whole thread…
“I’m now way tougher and smarter than I used to be.”
Well, she did leave him.
And for a trans woman. Which puts his transphobia and hate for his own child in perspective.
Wait. Is she equating an economic condition with political belief?
“I used to be a leftist hobo, but now that I’ve got my mind right, I’m now a billionaire.”
But of course. Why would any right-thinking person remain poor, when they could be rich instead? Must be all that self-defeating leftist thinking that keeps them down! /s
Well then…I would not want to intern with her. I generally do not like to provide sexual services or the use of my body for reproduction to my employers under a strict NDA, hell I don’t even like to work for free that much…
Abuse made me tougher too. It’s not something I would recommend to anyone though.
Being below the poverty line does not mean that someone is far left, or even centre left.
Besides, the only truth to horseshoe theory is that authoritarians tend to remain authoritarian even during a national shift in political beliefs. The power is the important thing, it doesn’t matter if it is socialist, capitalist, religious or fascist.
The way Grimes phrased it implied that she was trying to live outside the capitalist economy as a matter of principle and became homeless as a result. I didn’t read it as meaning that her situation determined her political beliefs, but perhaps I mistook cause and effect.
