And the results are finally coming in.

And he's right.

So he's imposed his will against all these obstacles.

But he was able to do it because he could communicate exactly what he was doing, almost in these three layers, to anyone, but always adjusting.

Never the philosophy, but always sort of adjusting the emotional components.

to whomever he was speaking to so that each person could hear.

The point needed to be conveyed so they could be at peace knowing that they had done their bit for this thing to work out.

And to be able to communicate that in such a way that the people you're speaking to can hear it because you're adjusting this emotional, subjective emotional component to them.

I think that to me is the secret of great communication.

My view today, and it might change, but it has probably to do with an ability to be a Greek hero, which means to live and espouse a worldview that is universally disliked.

That's iconic.

I'm really interested on this pure narrative level in what Elon Musk is doing, because it's so unconcerned with the traditional hero trajectory.

He's almost Greek.

And this idea of

breaking societal rules, if you will, that you get to some platonic ideal that is worth more than acceptance.

And I think all stories have in common the idea of resilience, that a character will overcome these obstacles and things are not working.

And there's not enough knowledge and enough power to go where one must go or one has impelled or has been impelled to go and keep going anyways.

So this idea of resilience and to keep going anyways, even though the obstacles are getting enormous.

I think inspires that begrudging admiration.

None of this is a moral evaluation.
