Dissident Sound (npub1nsh…cgnl)
You are right to compare Galen and Jay.
Ultimately Jay has the same narcissistic and pushy personality - it blinds him to the fact that no one wants to live his life.
A smarter or more reflective person would ask why what he perceives as his best advice is falling on deaf ears.
But he can't do that because he's a malignant narcissist. Trump is too.
This is actually an example of what you said about how your thoughts or persona can become a trap that imprisons you.
He should have realized after all his hookups that no one cares, but he still has to keep up this performative fuckboy thing for a paying audience and he is blind to how repulsive it is to a lot of people.
He should at least take the market's signals (based on a recent post) and become like an advice columnist or something. That would at least play to his biggest strengths based on the current preferences of the market - you make money from what they want, not what you think they should want.
But he's among his fellow hedonists in Barcelona so he is also living in a bubble along with all the other subculture denizens.
