His side gigs are super grifty. Curiosity box was a straight scam. Two months delayed and full of shifty products that break or fall apart trying to assemble them.

I think that today's world makes it harder to stand out as a genius, even with more opportunity. Most modern composers with any public name recognition are movie composers, like Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, and John Williams. Absolutely incredible scores without their movies, but are any Mozart level? I bet the Mozart level ones are probably well known in the orchestral world, but none of them are probably very well known outside of it.

And as far as scientists and mathematics, those roles have been pretty much entirely commercialized and corporatized. Even stuff for the public good is largely funded through grants and private investors, so the geniuses are always beholden to others who will take the real credit.

All of the recognized "geniuses" that I can think of are business-savvy grifters like musk and bozos and Zuck, all riding the coattails of the real innovators. Plus, these three specifically, if you look at their vanity projects and shit, they're all pretty insane.

To be fair Rockstar was really the company that normalized nudity in games. Not that is is normalized, I can only think of a handful of companies that have done it in mainstream games. Cd project red gamed and that Conan exiles or whatever mmo where you get a dick? Honestly can't think of others.

That has to be the real reason they've canceled Grand Tour

Bad bot linking to pay walls and not posting the article text.

It's incredibly important to do so because conservative and right-wing media is all free. They don't paywall anything. This is part of the disinformation brain-drain. The quality, real stuff is locked away but the bullshit is out for display.

Start displaying the real stuff.

I think it often comes down to learning styles. It really sucks because there is no one size fits all. I think most "trainings" would actually be better served as a long email that I can also reference later as needed, but I also struggle to focus in meeting and such. Other people are better at focusing in the moment and would never read a long email in the first place.

You are still misinterpreting me. And claiming I'm misinterpreting you as well lol. Of course you still have to shoot your shot lol. Maybe I'd just assumed that was obvious.

I use names because it's exasperating and frustrating to have a conversation with pessimists that always have an excuse. I get frustrated when people act like shit is supposed to fall in their laps and complain when it doesn't.

Relationships take work. Finding a relationship does, too. It takes subtelty and nuance.
