- the hero + the entrepreneur
My ideal day is skiing the rainbow of emotions: cutting out of ecstasy, torpedoing into depression, getting clipped by a bad blood memory, then stabilizing in the green lane for some fleeting wins, only to get shunted back in a blink to red or violet. Every disparate strip alive, no dull edges, full of feeling. The indifferent black nowhere to be found on the board. A day at the beach is a bummer compared to this.
Morning 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples. Just one thought today. No tweet, no meme. Just one.
🦸 The hero and the entrepreneur. The hero is an employee. His work and his mission only exist because a darker (but more powerful and more original) energy force planted a flag first. Of course I am talking about the villain. The villain puts the hero to work. Without the villain, the hero is out of a job, gnashing potato chips while his peloton collects dust in the living room. A missionless and pathetic life he would lead without his creative employer. The villain’s dreams eclipse the hero’s by orders of fucking magnitude: “I want to take over the world” versus “I want to stop that bad guy.” A planet to a peanut. The entrepreneur is under freights of stress which he transmutes into a carefree presentation, while the hero almost always has time for a side chick. What does this all mean? How should we interpret the fact that the villain - not the hero - is having more fun? He’s also wittier, equipped with lower anxiety and unconventional tactics, and dons an enviable devil-may-care attitude. Batman takes life so seriously that he’s insufferable to be around. His cape is a wet blanket.
They are both cool, make no mistake. But one employs the other.
I love you all.
