People somehow don’t realize how MrBeast got his start. He performed superhuman feats of boredom and endurance to get his channel certified. I seem to recall he counted to a million in another stream. I was really confused when the popular media started talking about someone I knew as a sideshow freak in a similar genre to LA Beast. The guy isn’t dealing with the normal human configuration of brain goo. His relationship with human suffering is fucking WEIRD. It’s like he’s lost the ability to comprehend what it is, and he just walks around faking it. It kinda scares me that he is so powerful now. Both in the immediate, “he’s going to fuck shit up,” sense, and also as a microcosm.
“I never read any books when I was growing up” is a sentence I would definitely keep to myself as an adult.
Maybe I’m too judgy, but my first reaction will probably always be “Yeah, now that you say it it’s quite apparent.”
in rural areas
some folks are proud to be ignorant. there is an aversion to literacy. James Stephen, a rich white kid, grew up in one of those North Carolina areas.
I saw him read a book when he was a kid. The dictionary. For like 24 hours straight on a webcam.
Oof, you weren’t even kidding.
