Elon Musk on the "Woke Mind Virus" | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

[@JPals-gt4mp]

I wanna see an interview of elon musk by jon stewart

[@damham5689]

Never happen. Stewart is smart. Musk learned in the past smart interviewers call him on his BS. Thats why Peon only interviews with fanboys and idiots like Rogan, Babylon Bee, Maher, and alt right magats.

[@benwasserman8223]

How much of Elon do you want to be left when the interview ends?

Jon stewart regularly take data out of context. For instance he used household statistics to make inequality seem greater that it actually is. When using per capita stats the inequality gap shrinks significantly. This is just one trick hacks like jon use.

Woke is the religion of social justice where everything and anything in the world is viewed as needing social justice regardless of the situation. Example: accusing a rock or a tree of being racist or sexist.

[@tractordamage5272]

The Woke Mind Virus is Narcissism (See Psychology). The twisted mindset which links all modern Left wing elements. The Psychology community has been focused on the Cluster A, B and C personality disorders of the Left, for decades. It's the reason behind the toxic behavior... ie the 'Zero Self-Awareness', the Projection, the Zero Accountability, the Hypocrisy, 'Feelings are Facts', etc. All the criticisms of the Left are actually Narcissist traits. The world is starting to learn the Woke Mind Virus is 'Narcissism'. NB: A Narcissist's 'delicate supremacist ego' hurts when exposed ('Narcissist Injury'), so if you're a 'Woke Narcissist', you might feel the Ego sting. The same Ego you were massaging with the virtue signalling ('External Validation'). #WokeMindVirus #Narcissism #NPD #CovertNarcissism

"WOKE" in its original meaning was "alert to racial prejudice and discrimination". A very good thing, and something that people from the past century already voiced 40 years ago. I did. Eagerly. I was the guy who took his time to talk to the homeless guy from Africa in the Underground, or who shared a sandwich and a chat with someone less fortunate than me. Today, it's completely different. While 20 years ago you knew that you had to study and become productive, and that there was a price to be paid in terms of time and energy, today the message is that you are "the best possible version of yourself" if you spend the whole day talking nonsense about LGBTQWHFR( add your favorite letter not meaning disrespect to any variation and/or permutation), The Planet, and what OTHER people should or MUST do to fit your daily delusion. One wonders who's gonna put dinner on the table when these entitled kids become adults.

[@twentytwo138]

@@larsO204 Nobody thinks that Elon Musk can solve all the world problems. This is an imaginary scenario that haters created in their heads as a way to belittle his fans. Elon is just a rich guy with a fetish for technology, science, energy, space, AI, bitcoin etc. and a general knowledge and interest in those things. Let him experiment, explore and play with this stuff, he can afford whatever he wants and that's his hobby and profession. Maybe it won't make a huge difference to society, but at least he's doing something interesting. And maybe he leaves a legacy that will help humanity in the future, like a stepping stone. But even if everything he does is useless (which is not) simply the fact that he's involved in these tech areas is good and positive. How many other people are involved in these tech things? What is Jeff Bezos doing? Where is Bill Gates? Steve Jobs is gone. What other celebrity is trying something with technology? Should we watch Kim Kardashian, Jake Paul, KSI and Cardi B instead? There are very few people with such aspirations, they're a dying breed. And i admire Elon for at least trying and enjoying it, keeping the hope alive, making us look up to the future. In that sense he is very influental, and i'd rather be influenced by Elon Musk than some instagram fitness model. Maybe humans won't reach Mars in another 200 years. But maybe Elon's involvement in space technology can help future people go to Mars in 150 years. Even 1% contribution is enough for space technology. Someone invented a wheel thousands of years ago, and people kept upgrading it from wood to metal to putting a rubber tire etc. and now we have cars. Each person who experimented with the wheel serves as a stepping stone, and the wheel will keep upgrading in the future. I hope you get my point.

​@@chrisgavin2794 Hitler was ambitious too. He is an authoritarian-loving racist anti(biomedical)science christian conservative. He started, by amplifying it, the HCQ BS and undermined the pandemic just because he wanted to keep his factories running (while judiciously and quietly abiding to shutdowns in EU, and China where that BS wasn't flying). He baselessly accused a guy of being a pedophile without evidence (and I am sure not for lack of looking). He pointed finger to homeless in Lee's murder without evidence. For then the murderer being a fellow tech entrepreneur. He attacks "socialists" policies, when without those policies Tesla wouldn't exist today. He attacks unions in the US, while opening a factory in the most unionized country in the world. Etc., etc.. Every claim/action he makes is aimed at benefiting himself. He spent 44B$ on twitter to influence public opinion and control the narrative, besides to strike his fragile insecure ego. His only drive is limitless ambition, and EVs are just a mean to that end. Any environmental/societal benefit that might come from it is just a byproduct. He likes to depict/think of himself like an enlightened leader, clearly working great on gullible people like you.

It's not particularly elegant, I grant you, but Kamala Harris is hardly the first politician to become entangled in her own rhetoric, as a comparison with other recent Presidents and Vice-presidents reveals. Pence was more fluent than Trump, notwithstanding that Trump says much much more, and is also a pathological liar. People talk about Biden's gaffes as if they're something new. Bush Jr's off the cuff remarks were often a source of unitentional mirth, unlike his father, who relied on Dan Quayle for comic relief. Even Reagan, who had the poise of an actor, sometimes reminded us that he was never a great actor.
