Walk away. Let Twitter fail. If you stick with someone who abuses power you reward the behavior.

> He acts like a-hole, but then expects unquestioning adoration.

Very typical narcissistic personality disorder symptoms. Narcissists are made not born, by other narcissists, thru treatment that is dehumanizing and inhumane from a very young age. We should give him our compassion and empathy, but not allow him any power. Power in the hands of a narcissist is dangerous, as the orange man showed us.

The CCP is watching this go down with the understanding that if they invade Taiwan the world won’t stop buying their stuff because money matters more than people.

Good point. I encourage you to read up on the personality disorders, they are fascinating.

The big ego stuff and always needing to feed it with claiming credit for everything reminds me a lot of narcissistic personality disorder, which is caused by childhood emotional abuse, so I think we should just humor his ego and recognize it for what it is, that is be kind and understand what causes that sort of thing, while not letting it distract us from the value of the research he’s doing. Intellectually Wolfram is clearly a very intelligent person; emotionally he is underdeveloped.

I think autism has become the IBS of neurodiversity, and will be retired someday just as the diagnosis of “hysteria” was retired as a catch all for women’s issues a century ago.

It’s probably just a way to access subconscious pattern matching in a way that bypasses the neocortex for output. An intuition magnifier.

This is tragic but you need to seek out a doctor for your mental health so you and your family can heal from this. Money won’t help you heal, and if you continue down this path of not seeking emotional closure this company will destroy the lives of your entire family, not just your son. Don’t let them have that power over you.

The world is better off without Reddit and similar sources of empty dopamine. There’s a big difference between doing well and feeling good. Someday humanity will look back on the early users of the internet as lives lost to addiction while the world literally burned around them.

Putin won’t withdraw unless he can do so while saving face. People are not rational actors, they are emotional actors.

I think China is trying to do right by China, while the people are secondary. They are such a different culture than the West it’s hard to see their system from our perspective as anything but totalitarian and abusive, but the idea that the collective is more important than the individual is a valid perspective, just not one that fits with Western ethics, which we hold to be the superior perspective, naturally.

Rich people don’t want to go to China or India, and I think if you compare the offerings of the West versus these other two countries for just a moment, you’ll understand why.

Russia is a classic abuser, the only way out from a relationship like that is to walk away regardless of the personal cost.

Reminds me of the outcry over micro aggressions in recent memory. Not to say that these things aren’t emotionality harmful, we shouldn’t dismiss people’s feelings or normalize hurtful behavior, but perhaps we should start asking why people are so sensitive.
