This is a good, if somewhat too narrow, character study of a distant minded billionaire unawares of the cultural locus he oversees. The article at the very least Is a great temporal artifact.
Because I've read a handful of articles like this, I often think of Jack while I'm showering. I'd say it's about ~20-30% of my showers, in fact, when I debate turning the water all the way to freezing cold and I'm like, pumping myself up in my head, like, "Jack can do it, I can do it, Jack can do it, I can do it."
What's a "temporal artifact"? And by "the cultural locus he oversees" do you mean his impact on society? Because I have often wondered if the opposite is true, that he actually overthinks his cultural relevance and impact.
I also find it funny that Jack does the same things ancient Romans did to their bodies in hot water!
What I mean is that he definitely "overthinks" his cultural relevance and is substantiated by the way twitter, as a app that doesn't really reflect real life, really does move news cycles which then in turn creates a feedback loop. I think that is an artifact of this specific moment - in 10 years, may be way different and this article will be a good piece of historical evidence.
I wish “Coronavirus” wasn’t thrown in the title. I was expecting something fresher. This is mostly old news (drama drama drama) with a few new details. Still, pretty fun to read. It’s impossible to know anything about Jack except that he has a huge ego. For example, if he wanted, he could easily keep his personal rituals personal. Just like Twitter itself, Jack is lots of noise and very little signal.
