He misjudged the time ghost. But also he fired the woman who kept his image and behavior under control, and lost his mind over unions. I imagine he thought he’d be like Walt Disney, but aforementioned zeitgeist made him look like Henry Ford with less competence and sanity.

I know he always had tumultuous relations with Grimes, the two of them both seem to have a lot of issues both separately and together. But also Naziism is meant to appeal to people like him. He is rich, powerful, and emotionally insecure. He must hear that he is special and better and that he should be having a ton of sex. He parrots eugenics that flatters him because it tells him what he needs to hear.

He refuses therapy because what he needs to hear to be healthy is the opposite, that he needs positive interactions with those around him and that that comes from genuine humility. That Twitter is terrible for him and that psychedelics clearly haven’t helped him fill the emptiness inside and so he’d be better served by something like volunteering. Not by giving some huge extravagant shit to show he’s the best, or some partisan thing. Something like swinging a hammer for habitat for humanity or stocking a food pantry. Something painfully ordinary that does direct good, allows him to be taught or guided and corrected, and puts him in community with strangers for a common goal. But he’s not going to do that. The emptiness in his soul is like an irrational phobia, it drives him away from the solution and towards behavior that makes him into a weirder and less likable person. If he hollows his soul out enough he’ll feel less empty right?
