FWIW, "Twitter" is 1000x better than "X" but... >I wonder if any psychologist or mental health professional has done an analysis of Musk's `X` obsession Only if said psychologist wants to look ridiculous. >I wonder if its in reference to the variable x since it can be anything he assigns it I mean, clearly? I don't even think that's a secret. >Its definitely a common narcissistic trait IMO its fine to dislike Musk but suggesting someone is a narcissist because they like the letter X is an insane stretch. Especially from an armchair.

I mean looking into his mental state is certainly not ridiculous. No matter for or against Musk's his politics, business ventures or 4chan edgelord shit. Being in his position must leave marks on your mental health.

  >I mean looking into his mental state is certainly not ridiculous I think trying to diagnose people with anything over the internet is a dangerous precedence. I think people are free to speculate, I just don't think it is at all productive. I mean, I honestly think he has some form of bi-polar but trying to diagnose narcissism because he likes the letter X and what it implies is crazy. It would be like me saying OP has agoraphobia because he has "obscurity" in his name. I could be right on both accounts but making diagnoses over the internet never ends well.

        No one can officially diagnose without the person being a patient. Professionals will give opinions based on information available.

        Where is the word diagnosis or any semblance in my original question? Your response and the question it ostensibly satisfies are "simulacratic" it would seem Edit: professionals will give opinions as [is appropriate and they are falled upon to do so] No disagreement, lets do it here aha

        >any semblance You're asking a psychologist to do an analysis on someone based on their affinity for the letter X. If someone asked if any psychologists have analyzed you because of your comment implying liking the letter X is narcissism, I would call them out all the same. It would look like someone searching for a psychologist to diagnose someone just to confirm their bias. Hell, we don't even need hypothetical. Conservatives on twitter practically foam at the mouth to have a psychologist "analyze" Joe Biden and all but diagnose him with dementia.

        I wouldn't be averse to that both because it should be standard practice for the most powerful nation in the world to ensure its leader is of sound mind on a legally non-partisan basis and that there should likely be an symmetric-level of comittment for both parties to do so with their current "front-runners" to the same extent as their citizenship and place of birth are relevant to their constitutional qualification for office. If there's one thing I learned about dealing with a folks who have nothing but accusations (this is directed at the perpetrators you gave as an example) it is that they are frequently worst-positioned to be examined on the exact same material they use as a sword sans shield. They have no shield because they lack a defense beyond just fighting with their target over the sword, when they are inevitably challenged and parried easily Edit: also, I'm more asking what is a pattern of behavior with similar facts indicative of or what clinical observations or inferences can be derived on a facial level? Edit: Julius Caesar had the falling sickness [epilepsy] Rome had a right to know that and take it into consideration as part of the populace's/Senate's delegation of all or most of State authority to this one impresdive and well-financed man Edit: most importantly, your prose is a little bit like a prism with light being refracted into a house of mirrors that are being infinitely recursively reflected on a concave trajectory
