That’s… generous
- namaria 2y agoSeriously this kind of social proof - 'this rich and famous guy said this so I paid attention' - is quite opposite to the major philosophies surrounding meditative practice.
- serf 2y agowhy? are there any other people that started in stand-up and ended up being worth over a billion dollars? sure we can rate what pinnacle of success means in comedy -- maybe he's not the funniest -- but generally we rate success in most of the West by pay rate and hoard.. my 2 cents: all the comedians that famously ran out of money entirely during their careers are funnier people. carlin, pryor, lewis , kinnison, rooney, lenny bruce, sinbad, chris tucker.. the list goes on. ... but they didn't end up billionaires.
- namaria 2y agoIs this a general argument then? Should we date teenagers in our late 30s as well? Or is this just ignoring survivor bias when it's convenient?
