…that was a SLAP in his face from the profession. The disappointment of the ppl he allegedly so respects, looks up to. He f*cked up not just his privacy, but the relations to his field. Relations what he built since finished the university, respect he earned by hard work through more than a decade.
Yes, he’s rightfully angry… at himself. & good to see this bc that means he realized what is really important to him. How many slap does he need to finally stand up for his principles?
I also realized sg – It was never really important
how he sells the narrative & what reception it gets, or how the public sees him, BUT how his colleagues think about him. That judgment he had to face w on that stage told everything what truly matters to him. All the backlash he got in the last 2yrs seems nothing next to this scene. So what’s gonna be his next move? Which way want to follow: pleasing others, or be true to himself?
That is the question— Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And, by opposing, end them?
