      Because stuff Milo said had been known—it just caught conservative outrage recently. Liberal outrage=$$$. Conservative outrage=book pulled.

      Milo story reminds me of a potentially apocryphal but great story about hashish dens, allegedly, during the Ottoman times.

      But I promise it's not time for some game theory. 😀 Just a good rule to understand pretend stuff, and a means to modulate response.

      So the hashish den residents would argue that this was their nature, and apparently were sometimes even subsidized. But occasionally banned.

      In one case, either someone upset or a ruler started a fire in the den.. To prove that it *wasn't* their nature to sit and smoke all day.

      All but one ran out in panic. One guy sat in the back, waiting for the flames to reach him. People shouted: "what are you doing? Get out!"

      "Waiting for the flames to get here to light my cigarette", he is said to have responded, and thus proving to onlookers it *was* who he was.

      A true Milo—as he projected—would leant into this. He is, after all, a victim of child abuse, as well, and I can see how it could go.

      So I hope this incident remains a clarifying example of how the attention economy & outrage industry truly works, and where the levers are.

      In the potentially apocryphal hashish den story, onlookers are said to have decided to permanently subsidize the guy waiting for the flames.

          The rest didn't get to sit around and smoke all day. So if Milo isn't "Milo!", I hope we see the game when the next one comes around. /end
