- twobitshifter 5y agoI think so: he used his personal example to say follow your dreams, but he followed his dreams with the backing of Peter Theil. If you were thinking you could start an online magazine too after reading this article it’s a nice reality check.
- SirHound 5y agoIs there a problem with interesting context?
- MandieD 5y agoIt's a bit easier to boldly follow one's philosophical dreams when said dreams line up nicely with what a billionaire is interested in funding.
- smsm42 5y agoYou do know that a lot of culture and science is not actually funded by scientists, actors and musicians themselves? In fact, there are people that advocate such funding is so important that we need to have the state take money from people - even not billionaires, but people earning very average salaries - and direct these money into financing people that are following some or other kind of philosophical dreams? If you are aware of that, I would like to hear how comes you think when the millionaire - after paying all the money allocated for all of the above - still wishes to spend money on financing even more people pursuing philosophical dreams, there's something wrong and shameful in that? Is that because this time politicians did not intervene in the process?
