Craig Wright is like a generic large language model that is able to generate an endless amount of sentences that sound reasonable to the untrained layman, but he can't actually apply logic or first principles to what he's saying so there's no substance to it.
The way he's able to construct new stories is incredible. He creates a narrative so complicated that you can't process all the moving parts and he uses Brandolini's law to his advantage.
In these respects, Craig is an expert con man.
It's astonishing to watch him and realize that he might actually be making half this shit up on the fly.
And his acolytes hang onto every single thing he says hoping it is some big revelation and often try to reconcile it with directly opposite stuff he said earlier.
Listened in on a BSV twitter space the other day, it is truly wild to listen to.
This is such a good fucking analogy for him 🤣 👏
And occasionally there is a straight up hallucination!!
He is a politician at heart
Me: I have 3 shirts. It takes an hour to hang dry a shirt. How long will it take to dry all my shirts?
CW: If it takes an hour to hang dry one shirt, then it will take 3 hours to dry all three shirts, assuming you hang them all at the same time.
I used to watch talks by CSW to analyze tricks he uses to manipulate audience.
He's a pathological liar. I'm looking forward to the end of the trial & finding out what the judge has to say about him.
