Tim jokes about wanting a personal trainer to just murder him instead of making him exercise, then pivots into a meditation on making art nobody wants anymore, comparing themselves unfavorably to Warhol and Michelangelo.

In this bit10 moments
  • Tim jokes about wanting a trainer to murder him instead of making him follow a training program.
  • The problem with making art: figuring out who actually wants it and why you're making it.
  • The masses like garbage, and even the smart set now likes baby talk over quality work.
  • Making something for a niche group that doesn't want it anyway—the art world is bullshit.
  • Rich kids jerking each other off about art; Warhol was a fraud but still better than what exists now.
  • Tim describes the ideal life: lake house, cooking, reading, maybe teaching at the local school and sleeping with graduates.
  • Coming back as a pig would be nice until slaughter, or he could just climb into a pig pen.
  • Tim is doing keto, no carbs—bread, sugar, and rice are poison for people like him who can't moderate.
  • Boomer parents fed him poison; he ate garbage his entire childhood and lost control completely.
  • The whole country is built on hooking people on shit, especially sugar cereals marketed to get kids addicted young.
