See the thing is, most people don't bounce around in sport coats and slicked-back hair kissing billionaire asses. That's not "culturally normal," for people outside his bubble.
I will never vote for this man in a general election. If you vote for him in a primary whatever happens is on you.
Culturally normal is a dog whistle.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

I remember waiting in gas lines with my dad in our giant gas guzzler, frankly it sucked.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

The problem to be solved is the system. How do we make the system want to be as generous as our hearts are? How do we make the system stop denying that there is enough to go around? How do we make them stop lying? No, not the people asking for accommodation — the liars are the systems _denying_ it.

No one who is a billionaire will ever be cool.
I think about this a lot, I feel like it’s deeply related to generative AI
Some things in life are supposed to be a little bit hard! Some things should require effort! Human beings should routinely hear “no” and “not yet” and “you can’t do that” and “that is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard”

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.
