Your wonderful story reinforces what I had gleaned from Lucas's films: not a funny guy. I loved your parting joke!

“… If you give them a negative vision, they will head toward that.”

Prophetic. And here we are.

Great piece, btw.

“You have to give people a positive vision to head toward. If you give them a negative vision, they will head toward that.” — The second sentence seems pretty damned important, and it’s been missing from most versions of this insight I’ve heard. Thanks. This story is stranger than fiction! So I’m a fan, as usual. Love the narrative oddity & particularity of the insights you’ve accrued.
