The Banality of the Banality of Elon

A similar number of months into a Trump presidency...

Again I find myself in a mood matching June 2017 when I was experiencing fairly severe psychosis. I was on Abilify, an anti-psychotic medication at that time, but that particular medication was too weak to counteract what doctors like to call "psychotic thoughts". There was a week or two that month where I was particularly inspired to quickly write up some flyers that mocked the richest & most powerful people in the world, have a couple hundred copies each printed out by a local copy shop, and hand them out on the Google campus to their employees. The goal was to call attention to a paper I had written and posted online, the main argument of the paper was that what we know about economics is mostly hogwash.

Now that the rest of the world has caught up to my level of disdain for Elon Musk...

I feel obligated to reshare the flyer I wrote that was primarily about him and his insane dream of getting humans to Mars. The title is a reference to "The Banality of the Banality of Evil", which is in my opinion the most important work Banksy ever made. The opening is a reference to Kanye West's song "Addiction". The end calls for a boycott of Tesla if Elon doesn't immediately abandon his mission to send humans to Mars. Since vast swaths of the world are finally boycotting Tesla eight years too late and SpaceX's starship rocket just exploded, I guess now is the time to point out how right I was about everything.

The back of the flyer is a quote from Boots Riley's book, "Tell Homeland Security We Are the Bomb".

I don't know how to post a PDF inside this leaflet document, I doubt it's possible, so I inserted two images below, first the front then the back.
