Demanding Luxury and Dominance Over the Rainforest
from #296 - Selling Moresby | The Tim Dillon Show · #296

Tim declares his disdain for 'communing with nature,' insisting his rainforest trip must be about luxury, a private plunge pool, a four-course meal, and total Western dominance over the landscape rather than any spiritual indigenous wisdom.
- Tim on why he wanted to go to Brazil and camping when younger, versus his current belief in dominance over creatures and landscape.
- People in Melbourne putting indigenous land names in dating app profiles annoys him; he's unashamed of Western civilization.
- Hotel concierge asked what expeditions he wanted; Tim specified the Daintree Creamery, famous for tropical fruit ice cream.
- His goal on a nature trip is to be impressed by the hotel more than the scenery; he wants safety and dominance over the landscape.
- He doesn't care that the rainforest is the world's oldest living one; his main goal is a private plunge pool in his room.
- Tim demands a four-course meal from the private chef or he'll burn acres of rainforest himself with a Marlboro Light.
- He has no interest in indigenous traditions unless they teach him how to outbid Chinese buyers on houses in Calabasas.
- He wanted to see baby monkeys and koalas, but notes that koalas suck because animals should be showmen who jump and do tricks.
