@BarelyOnlineGuy@greatsigh4ward@psyoppsa@BeigeFrequency Suppose there’s a college quarterback with more skill than Tom Brady that has a career-ending injury before making it to the NFL—Would you classify him as mediocre?
@greatsigh4ward@psyoppsa@BeigeFrequency My point is that the people with the most natural talent for filmmaking never actually became filmmakers. The opportunities that might have existed for some random wealthy Jewish kid didn’t exist for them. The same can be said of any elite profession, obviously.
@psyoppsa@BeigeFrequency They also seem to think that having a successful career in a creative field like filmmaking is as simple as having talent and that arbitrary factors like nepotism, having the right connections, access to capital, etc. don’t play a far more significant role.
@ZannSuz@NYCMayor What makes it their money? Philosophy of ownership is important to think about. The circumstances that make one person rich and another poor are often remarkably arbitrary, and some would say not all wealthy people are entitled to their wealth.
@OGArkhams@wembytip@TugboyFresh Lmao. You said he has helped more people in a week than I have in my life. Unless Mr Beast is out there helping hundreds of old ladies cross the street each day (i.e. something that doesn’t require money), then you were referring explicitly to philanthropy.
@OGArkhams@wembytip@TugboyFresh If your metric for someone being a good person is how much capital they have access to (which is the point you’re making here), then you are truly a shallow and spiritually lost individual.
@zerocatharsis@TugboyFresh There is nothing nonsensical about disliking garbage content made by a garbage human being to poison the minds of our youth.
