  1. The shaved heads and gis discussion becomes a little pollyanna. Joe's take of "it gives the kids something to work for while the others learn to appreciate" is probably the most unrealistic take possible. In short, the kids who have, flex on those who don't. That's the dynamic. There's no aspiration of the poor kid to work harder to look like the rich kid, because the rich kid didn't work for it. The premise is literally that their parents give it to them. Yeah he mentions compassion, but when did great disparity ever engender compassion? It's a ridiculous notion and represents, in a very small way, the reason why we have the problems that we do. When it comes to the have nots, they should just work harder and be thankful for whatever meager existence they can eke out, while looking up to the haves who didn't work for what they have. Society is a schoolyard writ large. How profound. 🙄

  2.  @HAMMERHEAD-g3h  "Other people don't understand why you do the things you do but for you, that's the best path." You've described literally everyone. It's not special "wild man." Nor is being a thrill seeker. It's a pretty common caricature actually, and they always think they're a special, rare person.
