It is okay to be a dweeb. You can just be a dweeb and do dweeb stuff, it is fine. The trouble comes in when you are a dweeb at heart, and decide you need to put on a big imitation of something else, and commit to it so hard that it starts to cause a rift deep within you. I think that is part of what is going on with Elon and why he has gone so hard into this strange darkness.

Miyamoto Musashi talked about this in the Book of Five Rings. I can’t find it in the text right now for some weird reason, so maybe I hallucinated all of this, but regardless here is my memory of what he said, paraphrased:

You need to be in accordance with your heart. Even if you feel that you are on a good and right path, if it is not in agreement with your heart in any respect, then over time that tiny deviation will widen and become a giant chasm in you. If the deviation is not corrected (and early is better), then ultimately it will destroy you.
