Reading his hot takes, you ever wonder what would have happened if they preserved some somatic cell samples when they MKULTRA'd old Uncle Ted?
Without the loving arms of furries and troons, Ernest seems like the kind of guy who'd want to be heard, one way or another. The Internet is just what's keeping his generation from building clockworks or welding on their bulldozer.
If Ernest became a terrorist, would his headmates each get charged with conspiracy?
You're right though, he's proof that some people really, really shouldn't get into psychedelics. I don't know if he was always this arrogant before he turned his mind into rainbow-coloured slurry or whether that's an aspect of his ongoing psychosis. But we're all quite lucky that he's more Peter Green than Uncle Ted, preferring to babble nonsense rather than turn his chemistry knowledge into big kabooms. I roomed with a chemistry student as an undergrad, and as a consequence I now know how to make napalm with household chemicals should the need ever arise. A disturbing proportion of them want to be either Robert Oppenheimer or Walter White.
Edit:
As I read more of his ramblings it's more apparent that his delusions of grandeur are accompanied by severe paranoia. Remember also in the OP when he became convinced that Will Stancil was going to SWAT him because his brilliance was a threat to Stancil's social media "empire"? That's pretty common in psychosis, my own personal theory is that it's a cognitive dissonance thing, it bridges the gap between their narcissism and the reality that they're unsuccessful. "I'm the smartest man alive, but I'm unemployed and sit fatly at my computer all day in a shit house next to an airport runway and suck off gross trannies in lieu of rent - that must be because there's a
huge conspiracy to rein in my manifest magnificence."
I did know someone who went into psychosis after one shroom trip too many and they showed exactly this. They ended up in the psych ward, where they told me that they were an alien wizard with an IQ of 400, but the CIA/MI6/Mossad/Knights Templar had conspired to have them confined because they knew the key to unlocking the universe and their psych meds secretly had ingredients that limited their magic powers. It let them maintain their delusions by explaining why their 400 IQ and magic powers hadn't let them teleport out of there or whatever.
Another thing that is a head-scratcher about Ernest is how his two lovers/housemates deal with this. Daniel in particular seems fairly normal and functional, revolting sexual proclivities aside. What attracts them to Ernest? He's not exactly a supermodel, he doesn't work, he doesn't really do anything at all except post on Bluesky, and he's crazy on a level even beyond most trannies. I don't know about any of you, but someone that obviously crazy would have to be
insanely hot for me to even consider sticking my dick in them, and even then I wouldn't because I have learned from making that mistake in the past. Do they believe him? Do they put up with it in exchange for ... whatever Ernest does bring to the table? I've never seen any of them talk about it, though I will admit I haven't looked particularly hard. What's his appeal?
