"they think they are getting something. They think they are learning for 15$ a month. It's even sadder than this idea of 'I just want to be famous'.(Dillon)"

Hehehe.

Some high IQ classmate of mine once said basically the same thing about TED talks. I now use that excuse to not watch TED talks. I'm probably low enough on the IQ curve where TED talks are actually good for me.

But I can't tell if they are just making me feel better about myself.

Comics are really where it's at apparently. Either the Greeks or the Romans didn't allow actors to be involved in politics, but they never said anything about comics.

I've been studying the French Revolution recently. They had universal rights of man... except for actors. Same idea, that they can't be trusted. Fascinating

Candace Owens was recently mentioning "theatre kids" in politics. a surprising amount are heads of state.

don't get me wrong, i love the theatre... but perhaps that emotional connection that actors naturally tap into is too powerful for propaganda.

the populace (myself) who pays 15$ for masterclass has to be protected from this .
