I agree.

Heroes save others from those that wish them harm (villains)...

But they cannot save someone from their Self.

Saviors are the only ones who can save another from their Self.

Sure, we've always needed Heroes, willing to stand up for those who cannot defend themselves.

However, I believe that the "Awakening" is as you suggest; the time when people Awaken to the fact we each have always had the ability to save ourselves from our Self; that we are all Saviors if only we sought to deny our Self for the sake of the Other.

I am hopeful Elon, not the man but the public persona, was selected by our Heroes to act as a Mediator to bridge the Great Divide. Suspicion of his intent is necessary from both sides for that role to be fulfilled. Undue trust from one side would ruin the neutrality required for the vocation.

Strategically, he is the best bet to play the role of Mediator, expressly because no side can discern his ulterior motives. It's good we don't trust him, and we should continue to not trust him.

To clarify, I believe that the real Elon doesn't have to still be alive for the persona the public conscience had constructed to fulfill this role.

Right now, I'd wager 40% of people are a lost cause... Which is a far cry away from 4-6%. We need an intervention if we are gonna reconcile and arrive at the target numbers. A Mediator is necessary to that end.
