Nah. I think he did it and was on his way to the next one, stopping at McDonalds instead of Starbucks this time. I don’t think he’s insane. I think he’s just “crazy enough” to do what he did, in the same vein as all those 20-somethings engaged in the American Revolution all of whom pushed past that internal barrier.
People forget most of the famous names of the time were 20s & 30s, with a few “old” guys, like Washington, in their early 40s, likely lending a paternal endorsement to the whole thing.
By the patterns of history, a dam could’ve broken with Luigi, but it didn’t and likely won’t going forward, or it would have already. That ignition point has passed.
This is like Paul Revere getting arrested on the way and everyone just kinda going “ok”, and then watching a cat video or going back to, idk, what are the kids playing these days? Minecraft? Roblox?
