>'“Wouldn’t it be better,” he asks with a sly smile, “if it was actually an accepted thing for people to want to go understand how other people were living?”'

Hey Mark, here in the "normal regular person world" that's actually already accepted. There's a name for it, its called empathy, its a basic human trait. The fact that you perceive that as somehow "unaccepted" shows just how disconnected from reality and clueless you actually are.

The fact that you see going on a road trip as something extraordinary and worthy of your vast PR machinery is nothing short of a joke.

Also I'm sure that embarking on a road trip while being surrounded by security detail and a team of PR flaks is creating an authentic experience for all involved.

He is discovering what religions (yes all of them) have been saying for years. I don't see any harm in that.

Better than what a lot of other rich scumbags I know do with their time.

Which is more likely, that Mark is experiencing a genuine, and highly publicized, spiritual awakening, or that he's meticulously crafting his public persona based on unprecedented troves of information about modern society?

I do find his changes suspicious, but he did get married / have a kid which can also bring huge changes

I'm not sure I would consider the further cultivation of his megalomania and messianic complex a huge change.
