The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

Why does Elon Musk like to blow things up? A psychoanalytic approach.

Elon Musk has been unusually open, even for a billionaire celebrity, in terms of his motivations, needs and interests, in the public forum. And, on one point he has always been very consistent. Elon likes to blow things up. Indeed, I think it would be fair to say, Elon truly loves to blow things up. He shows this taste particularly when it comes to rockets, and, in particular, as we've seen over and over again, with regard to his beloved "Starship", in particular. Indeed, the only thing his Starship seems capable of doing -- and, to be sure, it does this very well indeed -- is blowing itself up. Yet, Elon seems delighted, even one could say, highly addicted, to blowing his Starship up, over and over again, at his own very great expense. Now, why exactly, should this be the case, because, you have to admit, it is a rather bizarre behavior. So, let's try to consider this behavior in terms of Elon himself, and the Starship in particular. It is notable, that the Starship is considered critical to NASA's Artemis program, intended to put the first woman on the Moon, in just two years. It seems clear, that if the Starship is indeed used for the purpose of the lunar lander then, as intended, this woman will certainly die. It is also notable, that Elon Musk is an inveterate womanizer. He has had movie stars, CEO's of corporations, housewives etc. etc. etc. Any woman he wanted, she was his. And, of course, as we all know, intensive womanizing can indeed lead to unusual tastes. There is a novelty effect in human sexuality. This is perhaps most clearly stated in the "Coolidge Effect": U.S. President Calvin Coolidge and his wife visited an experimental chicken farm. Coolidge's wife went one day with the experimental farmer, who informed her that the roosters would copulate with hens six to eight times a day. Mrs. Coolidge said "Tell that, to Mr. Coolidge!" The next day, President Coolidge went with the farmer, who informed him that the roosters would copulate with the hens six to eight times a day. President Coolidge asked the farmer "Same hen?" "No Mr. President," the farmer replied, "six to eight different hens." "Tell that, to Mrs. Coolidge!" replied the President. The Coolidge Effect may have a critical influence on Elon Musk's behavior here. Elon is seeking an unusual experience with a woman. One he's never had before. And, has Elon, has any man, ever blown up a woman landing on the Moon before? No, of course not! And, the plot thickens, my friends. Elon Musk's relationship with NASA is largely based on his promise to dramatically cut costs -- cut costs by 80%, 90%, perhaps 99%, Elon will promise them anything. He has indeed cut costs by about a third, using his partially salvageable rockets -- they're not really "reusable", in the normal sense of the term. That seems to be about the best he can do, however, and that's not really good enough to get man back on the Moon. However, NASA is so desperate to cut costs, in order to stay in business, that they'll give Elon anything he asks for, anything at all, if only he'll promise them what they need, however impossible that might be. So, NASA exists in kind of a financially dependent marriage relationship will Elon Musk, and like a dependent wife, NASA is even willing to sacrifice her children -- her female astronauts -- to Elon's insatiable lusts. Effectively, Elon Musk and NASA are producing Snuff films at enormous taxpayer expense for Elon's delectation, at taxpayer expense. The entire Artemis Program is actually a Snuff Film. What a terrific thrill for Elon! It's like Albert Einstein says. When you ask simple questions, and the answers are also simple, you know you hear God thinking.
