All producers, businessman and politicians with "nazi" and "racist" tendencies or companies monstrously destroying the environment, nature, and earth to greedily loot it's resources must not be allowed to get rich or get into business in any ways for the survival of humanity!
You obviously don't Grok. It doesn't mean understand. It's much more than that. Be at one with is closer. The novel leaves it open to interpretation. Mush had also read the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson by the looks of things.
No it doesn't. I means to be at one with something. You become part of it and vice versa. The drink is the ceremony to become a water brother. Drink deep. May you never thirst. Which is Pagan.
i mean there's literally a line from the novel that says "grok means 'to drink'" and also when you drink something it literally becomes a part of you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oh, there's a lot going on, so - as a critical theorist, a writer and a product designer - let me unpick this a bit...Writers (and product designers) don't produce out of thin air - we are subject to the vagaries of markets and the modernist quiddities of phenomenological life.
If the red pillers have an influence, you might then blame the over-bugeoning brands of mutinational corps in the 90s, early populism arising out of centrist voluntarism, and threat of nuclear war prefigured all that. These were harbingers of aesthetic - and people like Musk build brands in 2025

It becomes a corporate storytelling initiative for building a connection with your audience in a short amount of time. (arguably)
Don't blame the writers - we eek out a hard life.
impressionable man-children not understanding what the source material is trying to establish (ie. impressionable man with deep comprehension issues) might hinder our progress, but sci-fi is one of the best thing we as a species have done, so leave the sci-fi alone...

I can think of a few other things to keep techbros from destroying the world than the sci-fi genre lol.
Humanity is a steaming pile of brainwashed shit.
