It seems to me he's just laughing at how absurd everything has become. He suggests as much quite directly by stating "he has become something of a conscientious objector on social media." The same is no less true of his comments on our economy. I mean what would you want the guy to do? He has donated a lot of money relative to his net worth on things that all are helping to improve society for everybody.

The only thing that seems to make people angrier than politispeak, is honesty!




I don't know about Sean, but if it just dawned on me one day that my $2.5B was dirty money, my new full-time job would be undoing the damage.

Parker is a smart guy. If he were even half-way serious about what he was saying, he would be doing something a hell of a lot more effective than tweeting "conscientiously" and donating 10% to medical research.
