the roamerUK political scientist David Moon offers a perceptive analysis of how Donald Trump's MAGA appeal stems from the public's "knowing suspension of disbelief". This mental attitude (kayfabe) is modelled on the way in which in professional wrestling, the audience watches strictly staged combat, is fully aware that it is performative, yet treats it as if it is actual combat.
GNU Emacs as a Lisp Machine surely is very nice. But Daniel Weinreb himself disagree with that.
Is it possible that Emacs is only Lisp Machine in spirit only?

Note: on the debate about the original creator of Emacs, whether it is David Moon & Guy Steele or Richard Stallman, I am completely neutral.
Edit: I have ever heard somewhere that Maxima is quite similar with GNU Emacs. At the core of Maxima is an implementation of Common Lisp. Maxima is just sitting on top of the Common Lisp.
