Yeah but I bet that Rogan has way more influence, fame, fortune, and females than you. I think he's done pretty well for being a stupid stoner.
Interesting take, but this doesn't bother me.
Influence would be nice, for I think I could do some good with it, fame is something I abhor for myself, fortune is for the vapid and having women by quantity is akin to eating sweets from an infinite conveyor belt-it goes from delightful to disgusting.
Another thing to mention...
Joe has more or less peaked in his fame and career. He may acquire more comedy gigs, keep his radio show, get contracted for another tv season or star in a show himself. He won't be breaking into a new field any time soon, nor would people be likely to take him seriously if it was required for his hoped success. He's just another cog in the media apparatus.
While having a child and making moderate income, I'm still very healthy, still in the cocoon-like development stage where a man harnesses his talents. I feel physically great. I envision many years left in life for me. I still have the opportunity to invent myself if need be. I still have the opportunity to out-success
Rogan by my standards, but I obviously operate on a different set of idealized success than Mr.
Rogan and yourself. Pussy, money weed aren't my gods. Fall for the mainstream brainwashing at your own peril.
Accomplishing some beneficial or productive task that echoes long after death is my metric for success. More people know about what Brad Pitt's favorite cheese is than who invented binary code, but that's ok. The greatest men know of the greats and that's all that matters.
