Having COVID at 36 and Valuing Existence
from #266 - Lightfoot Strikes Twice | The Tim Dillon Show · #266
4 min
Tim describes lying in bed with a mild COVID case and realizing many people never truly 'exist' as themselves, arguing people should stop pretending things make sense when they don't and commit to real beliefs.
- Having COVID at 36 made him realize he could die, which revealed the value of existing.
- Many people on the planet don't actually exist—they don't allow themselves to be who they could be.
- Stop pretending to like things you don't, stop adapting, and say when something doesn't make sense to you.
- You could drop dead tomorrow, so would you want to be remembered as a defined person with actual beliefs?
- Tim asks who you respect more: your aunt on another diet every week or a fat person eating a hot dog.
- Who do you respect more—your friend who read about politics 16 minutes ago and became an expert, or the Taliban?
- Someone trying to be liked by everybody versus Lori Lightfoot, a demon sent from hell.
- There's nothing worse than somebody who's wishy-washy, though changing your mind is fine.
- People don't realize it's not a right and wrong paradigm anymore—it's reality versus whatever planet you're on.
