What Marc actually means is that he’s lived his life like a ruthless capitalistic psychopath that treats humanity like a resource to be strip-mined for his pleasure, and all he had to do was sacrifice his ability to face himself in the mirror.
Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of

As we prepare for the #Oscars tonight, I can’t help but think of when Delroy Lindo as West Indian Archie helped Denzel Washington as Malcolm X get prepared for his next step. Many think of Spike Lee’s Malcolm X as Denzel’s magnum opus. For Delroy, it could be Crooklyn, Clockers,

Brilliant advert inspired by Mel and Peet Viljoen’s “adventures” in the US. 😂 Reminds me of the Nandos ads. Dutchy’s is a South African market and restaurant in Boca Raton, Florida🇺🇸.
