It's a great take from Tim and seems to ring very true. I just don't think people really think about what fame means. It's got huge tradeoffs and its mostly not fun but rather scary and unnerving. Eric Weinstein also seemed to run into this fairly quickly and has now stopped making his podcast because the fame part is mostly toxic.

- crispyambulance 6y ago> Eric Weinstein also seemed to run into this fairly quickly ... No, I don't think so. Any blowback he's gotten is not from "fame" but rather his difficult personality.
- cbozeman 6y agoIt's a good thing he absolutely insists on being sesquipedalian, because it limits his audience. He seems to fancy himself as Tech Faulkner; I'd rather be Tech Hemingway.
- Judgmentality 6y agoI know my comment isn't relevant but my favorite literary rivalry in history is definitely Hemingway and Faulkner.
- runamok 6y agoIronic you used that word as I can imagine it limited yours on this comment too. :-)
- cbozeman 6y agoOh God, I know, but it really is the perfect fucking word for Eric, whom I do admire, but find to be occasionally frustrating... If Eric's brother Bret is as naïve about politics as Eric believes, then Eric is as naïve about word choice. Probably more so.
- cmbailey 6y agoI'm so grateful there are people with the courage to stand up and say unpopular things. Weinstein is a human whose outspokenness I've been particularly grateful for.
