i am more keen to work within technical limitations rather than smash my head against them. i am more understanding of how to configure hardware to give it the best chance it can have. i am laser-focused on converting waste into opportunity. all of this has to be cultivated from a place of patience and appreciation. you must understand the value and capabilities of the things around you. your willingness to be behind the curve in this field will be a virtue.

Does the word realism have any meaning to you as an actor? > No. When you say realism, I think of naturalism, and I think about natural acting. And when I think about natural acting, I think about natural behavior. And I think sometimes that destroys movies, you know? Because we don’t just want to see imitations of life. We want to see something that is beyond that. Cinema is not just about telling stories. Everybody clings to this. Telling stories, telling stories, telling stories! It’s about light. It’s about space. It’s about tone. It’s about color. It’s about people having experiences in front of you, where, if it’s transparent enough, they can experience it with you. You become them. They become you. That’s the communion. That’s the experience. Wow. You’ve just summarized my entire philosophy of what cinema is. I don’t really care much about plot. > I don’t either! But we’re all different. My wife is always going, “Don’t tell me what happens.” I couldn’t care less. Tell me the whole story! When I watch it, I’m going to forget about where it goes anyway. It’s not about what happens. It’s about how things happen. Because there’s nothing new under the sun.

HTML isn’t only for people working in the tech field. It’s for anybody, the way documents are for anybody. HTML is just another type of document. A very special one—the one the web is built on.

In the Republican party, populist discontent is the mainstream. In the Democratic party, that's excommunicable. People who’ve eschewed traditional media in favor of content creators aren’t just looking for information, opinions, or to have preconceived notions validated. They’re looking for aspirational figures – people they can try not just to think like, but be like. That, to some extent, is what a Joe Rogan or a Theo Von or, more regrettably, an Adin Ross offers. It’s also what viewers see in Piker, who posts pics and videos of his fits and his fitness progress in addition to streaming political commentary.
