6 - Drugs
IDK Its weird how a lot of rich and powerful are all closet drug addicts. Like you got the funds and resources to turn your self into an Adonis amongst people. You got the funds to go skydiving daily, flying in experimental aircraft, learning how to do some James Bond level driving maneuvers, or train to go all John Wick on a shooting course. Yet a lot go, “hold my beer gonna get some nose candy”
Like come on, am I missing something or are these people terribly boring? Where are the mega wealthy ones that wake up to have breakfast in a hot air ballon, followed by Horse Polo, followed by fencing lessons from an olympic champion?
You’re missing how a bunch of their friends from their new social class already do drugs and how good those drugs feel.
Easy hole to fall into, but money honestly makes it harder to climb out of, you can always afford the drugs.
So it becomes the norm, whereas someone at the poverty line with an addiction can’t afford them regularly and has to spend grocery money on them and therefore might be addicted but also resents them.
Rich people can afford to normalize drugs and consider themselves fine while they’re on them, because they’re still living within their means.
If you are rich (or famous) people will want to control you and the best way to do that is to get you hooked on drugs and supply those drugs.
Look at how those people around Matthew Perry were laughing about how much they were charging him for the ketamine. Think about all the managers that have provided drugs for musicians.
no matter how rich they are, they’re still human and they get too tired for fencing after playing Horse Polo (which rich people just call Polo by the way). the cocaine allows them to have the energy for Space Tennis right after getting their asses kicked by olympic fencers
The issue, you see, is that they can do all of that stuff with cocaine too
Drugs are fun but expensive, not sure what’s hard to understand
Things won’t make people happy for forever, happiness comes from within. People with financial resources can afford to spend a lot of time running from that truth.
Shows how when ur poor and use drugs ur a “bum” and when ur rich asf ur js “sophisticated” and coping with the immense stress of being fuckoff rich
What does the first line item mean?
your “day 1s” refer to the people who have been with you since day 1, e.g. your longest friend
OK, so what might it mean to “switch up on” them?
Forget about them/betray them.
how is he getting rich?
His collection of nft apes paid off in a 1 in a trillion chance of it folding otherwise
Yes, it’s me, I’m the buyer. At any expense, I must possess all the apes. I’m here from the future, to spread the word that if we allow the genral public to have ownership over this level of stupidity, it will result in a runaway moron effect. And if left unchecked, then in my time, four hundred years from now, when we make first contact with other spacefaring civilizations, they’re going to think we’re really lame.
