I stopped actually listening to his words in 2015.

I leave to people with stronger constitutions to do this work.

I feel terrible for people that are obliged to transcribe his word vomit for a living, or for historical posterity. Even with all that effort, I fully expect people in the not-too-distant future to wonder why the data of every single transcript of this one guy was somehow corrupted. I would struggle to believe it was real if I hadn't heard it myself.

In any sane world, he'd have been kicked to the curb the day he said he 'liked soldiers who didn't get captured.'

I guess it's like when you watch a Marvel movie and they start talking about an 'arc reactor' or 'vibranium.'

People know it's nonsense but it's okay because there's a big fight coming.

Marvel stuff is fantasy but not nonsense. It's mostly internally consistent.

It's pure technobabble, but 99.9999999999999999999% of the people watching it know it's absolute fiction.
