Who cares what Hanania thinks about human excellence? He has (generously) 1/1000th of Elon's following, maybe 1/100,000 of his wealth.
Following this logic, who are you to contradict Hanania?
Is Hanania running a viable AGI program? Is Hanania building huge rockets? Are Hanania's opinions relevant in world affairs, does he control key communications infrastructure used by armies? Is he doing anything of importance whatsoever?
What's your actual argument here? Elon is a super successful businessman so he can't be wrong about Zelenskyy being a dictator with a 4% approval rating who started the Russian-Ukraine War?
Elon may indeed have lost some of his faculties, idk, I've never met the man. I doubt Hanania has either. Armchair psychoanalysis of extremely unusual people is basically just glorified name-calling.
Is wondering if Elon has gone a little nuts "glorified name-calling" or is it... wondering if Elon has gone a little nuts? I guess it could be the former, but it seems like the OP is being earnest and I'm pretty sure the rules here say something about arguing with people in good faith.
It's perfectly reasonable for us to disagree with Elon's choices or think he should do something else.
Uh, is it? According to your logic, I feel like it's not:
Whatever Elon has lost, if anything, he still makes the rest of the world look like drooling retards. What did I get done in the last 3 years, since 2022? I certainly didn't start an AI company that's outperforming Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. I didn't build the biggest datacentre on the planet at record speed.
But whatever.
Why should anyone care what Hanania thinks about politics considering how bad he is at it?
What if I asked, "Why should I care what Elon Musk thinks about politics considering how bad he is at it?" In fact, I am asking that. How is Elon Musk good at politics? He genuinely seems terrible at it. He's more unpopular than ever. DOGE is a mess. What has he achieved? He publicly supported Donald Trump? That's not good politics, that's just expressing preferences. Having actual moral objections to someone isn't the same thing as not having "political skills."
