This almost perfectly encapsulates him. Really, the picking up of various theories and ideologies to try and win favor with the audience that actually enjoys said work, only to discard it the instant it is no longer useful to him would make for a great summation of his career. It's why when he has to make a statement that is actually original and his own, or that someone asks him to make, it is so void of substance (more recently, telling NBA players not to boycott but to VOEETT?) He's an empty vessel.

This is also definitely a guy who would have looked up pick up artists if they were more prominent at the time. Real sex pest energy.
