I don't get the first sentence fully. I guess it's a sarcastic remark about the 420 price, but I can't see how it "risks people their lives". Hmm... now that I think about it, 420... weed? I wonder if he made that as a suble joke, in any case. I do get your second point, let me go into that.
I have friends who have a lot of difficulty distinguishing expressiveness and rationality. I can't do that in a post.
The best way to see the difference: find a CS/psychologically-minded person that is capable of being rational but has a default state of being creative. Yep, kind of describing myself here (= easiest description to give). They're quite easy to spot:
- they have some creative thing they like (drawing, music, anything pertaining to multimedia)
- they are also capable of going from existential and psychedelic to rational and focused within one second
- they are capable of explaining why they act crazy when they do and tell you their emotional, rational perspective on it (on parties, for example, it has a lot of instrumental value).
Hangout with them for a year. And you'll see how expressiveness is mixed with rationality.
FYI the 3 word all-caps tweet is the expressive part of Elon.
Also, I could be wrong about all of this obviously, this is simply my current opinion about it, I thought quite a bit about it (also about my biases, can't rule them out) and I think I'm right but I've been proven wrong (and right) in beautiful ways before in my life. So I could be (horribly) wrong.
