She's not a child anymore Joanne, she's in her 30s. Is it really that hard to consider that you might be wrong? You don't reach enlightenment when you become a billionaire y'know.

Emma Watson is older than Joanne when she first published; it's so creepy that Joanne is desperate to infantilise her.

That's what they do with all they see as women, even trans men/masc and nonbinary people, sadly.

Pretty much the opposite, to be frank.

They can sure define the word “enlightenment” to be whatever they want. However, the spiritual concept traditionally referred to as “enlightenment” has been pretty consistent for millennia. Traditionally enlightened people would carry the traits of being at peace, able to experience joy through suffering, and having heightened sense of empathy and connectedness to those around them. All the billionaires i read about are selfish, miserable people with poor emotional intelligence and an insistence to project blame away from them; these are not traits of the enlightened

If they were capable of this, conservatives largely wouldn't exist.
