That’s right. Seems my-hero 's current culture war fixations have made him sufficiently less interested in his older bullshit promises.

He will grift on, but seems he’s losing interested in the space grift. He’s posting cringe Gambo “AI” videos showing Gambo’s favorite objectified SV victim and mistreated actress being a DJ at a Gambo-setting dance party instead (not linking that shit, look for it if you dare).

The light of consciousness may not extend to the stars within his lifetime by his own admission, which means if it ever does it won’t include his dim smoldering light nor will it be his bigoted and emotionally poisonous consciousness. sicko-wholesome

    Part of what made me hate ELO~N’s particular brand of grifting was that it touched something near and dear to me: my lifelong yearning to explore the stars, to see what’s out there, with curiosity and wonder in my young heart.

    That’s right. I wanted the space treats. I was the target audience for the space treats. But this wasn’t Star Trek that that disgusting carnival barker was offering: it was a spoiled brat fanboy’s misreading of Star Trek (among many other things) taken as gospel, privatized and made for-profit in a vomitous melange with all the other consumer treats he mixed it with while devouring it thoughtlessly with only a surface level liking of the visuals and the pew pew noises.

    Yes, it’s personal for me. Peddling dreams to people under grotesque false pretenses hurts me in my soul.
