Holy crap haha! What a quote. Certainly made his point of view clear lol
TBF he is a renowned asshole. He has publically called the work of his own son "an insult to life itself".
The insult to life itself comment was about generative AI. I think what he said to his son was something like "he's not an adult and he should quit"
After watching what he did to Earthsea, I see his point tbh
edit: Posted by mistake
That's a bummer. Frankly most creative (or other) genius tends to come with a LOT of downsides from everything I've seen, so not too surprising. A creative legacy like his is not built on reasonable takes, lol. That's no excuse for being a jerk of course, I don't like jerks.
He is infamously eccentric. Maybe no-one ever set his talent aside for long enough to teach him manners. And it was probably too late to do that ages ago.
But he also has humanitarian ideas. Looking at the messages his movies convey, it's clear to me he wishes people the best.
Yet he vilifies so much of the real world and the people in it. And it just feels like a refusal to even try to understand.
