Perhaps?

Sadly I can decode another part of his behaviour .

I had a really shitty 15 years. I sincerely hope I am en route finally to exiting a phase of me life which I think of as Trump adjacent (relative to the first 33 years of my life anyway) behaviorally if not politically.

I really didn’t want my employer (the institution that is) or their inhouse technologists/mental health professionals to be able to assess my competence or mental status etc. in any way that cannot be challenged after the fact.
[As for their technology (e.g.: ai agents), that is all just a giant scam].

And then you reflexively behave in relatively outrageous or erratic ways or just hang. And react worse and recover more slowly than you normally would wrt separately awful crap.

I have no idea what Trump plans to do, but I am going to exit the Trumpiest parts of my life. This is well timed wrt my state of mind:

(I vaguely disapprove of infinity as a concept anyway for political reasons. As far as earth goes, could it be that certain concepts are particularly responsible for this Cornucopian, no-limits-to-growth worldview shared by economists and the tech sector?).
