I’ve had the exact same though about George Lucas. Having constraints often forces us to listen to other people, take on advice we don’t want to hear, and tamp down our worst excesses.

When all external constraints are taken away, it’s probably much more of a challenge to stay grounded.

Incidentally, this latest action immediately brought to my mind a Star Wars quote:

“The more you tighten your grip, Elon, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.”
