Summary
The game of life is not fair. The wrong people are rewarded for being wrong, while being virtuous is villainized. Perhaps that's why we love the antihero. If we accept the game is rigged against what s real, then we can't help but to respect what we're supposed to hate.

The only feeling more sickening than being right too early is realizing you seek validation from
00:00:05.740
who is wrong. The game of life is not fair. The wrong people are rewarded for being wrong
00:00:14.600
while being virtuous is villainized. Perhaps that's why we love the anti-hero. If we accept
00:00:20.720
the game is rigged against what's real, then we can't help but to respect what we're supposed to
00:00:25.760
hate. As of today, we're supposed to forget about Jeffrey Epstein's island of child sex slaves that
00:00:31.640
implicates the world's most rich and powerful. It's been talked about enough, says the president.
00:00:37.280
Imagine then seeing the same players who kicked you out the game for talking about politics sit
00:00:42.160
on a podcast with Benjamin Netanyahu. You realize then, how can there be worthy validation from a
00:00:48.260
game that prefers war criminals to you? Their favorite piece of advice, which doubles as a
00:00:53.120
warning, don't talk about politics, only applies if it's true enough to make the sedated uncomfortable.
00:00:59.800
The warning is for the almost inevitable insanity you can uniquely reach after flying too close to
00:01:05.480
the sun. Maintaining sanity is coming to terms that virtue is only a weakness in this game.
00:01:11.160
You will lose your mind without expecting a game rigged by the devil to play tricks.
00:01:15.540
Simply being there for players at their lowest is a favor you cannot expect to be returned.
00:01:19.960
Because if you do not view these relationships as only opportunities, you will lose. Accept this
00:01:25.960
early before you become the angry grandpa barking at the sky. He knows the sky is falling, but it's
00:01:31.940
not like anyone wants to listen. If only grandpa knew he could turn some heads if he did a little
00:01:37.180
dance while pointing at the falling sky. Then his only mistake would still be expecting a thank you
00:01:42.420
from those who listen and sidestep the destruction. No one says thank you to the anti-hero. We love to hate him.
