@monkeyninja Remember "weird" & how hard it hit? Ridicule is one of the most powerful weapons against the self-righteous. They️ need an image of themselves as arbiters of normalcy & seriousness - they're basically Jorge from Eco's "Name of the Rose", telling people to stop laughing because the truth tastes of death. To which William of Baskerville responds that he should be tarred & feathered & paraded as a bufoon so people could laugh at his small-minded selfrighteousness.

@blogdiva That's just the type of people who become billionaires, because it's the type of person who wants to. You know, a guy who rallies a group of people to go with him to that big old lone, abundant cherry tree, singing the praise of all that sweet cherry goodness to inspire everybody to build a ladder together to reach the highest branches, offers to go first - and then pulls up the ladder the second they're up there.
