Thank you for sharing. I haven’t seen Tár. What I’m responding to is the essay—and it resonates because what you name feels so familiar. It’s less about one character, more about the culture that produces Lydia Társ, sustains them, and punishes those they harm.

As an AuDHD gestalt language processor, I live in a different register. I don’t climb ladders of power. I share freely—my writings, my frameworks, my lived knowledge—even as I struggle to pay bills. That’s the difference your piece lays bare: the fragility of those who hoard power, who guard their little empires of control, versus the abundance of those of us who give without calculation.

GLP life is abundance. Our words come as wholes, as constellations, and to keep them locked inside would be the greater violence. So we give them away. Meanwhile, institutions reward the narcissist, the manipulator, the authoritarian. Your critique names that imbalance clearly. And from where I sit, your reading echoes the core of our experience: impunity protects the fragile, whilst the generous are left to scrape by.
