Tim muses on the psychology of remorseless people who cause deaths and move on, connecting the driver's callousness to Caitlyn Jenner's fatal Malibu car accident, Alec Baldwin's shooting, and Bill Clinton's own 'onward and upward' philosophy.
- Tim on the fascination with remorselessness—people who cause deaths accidentally and move on without dwelling on it.
- Even those who shoot a cinematographer on set don't seem visibly broken up about it, yet maybe that's necessary for moving forward.
- The question of whether such people are remorseless or simply forward-thinking.
- Caitlyn Jenner's car accident in Malibu didn't sideline her—embodying the champion's mindset of moving past tragedy.
- The phrase 'onward and upward' exists for a reason; Tim auditioned for a movie, didn't get it, and his manager said onward and upward.
- A man hit a girl with his car and called her a slur, but that's what he believed caused the accident and he's not an eloquent person.
- Tim explains what he would have said instead: frame it as a tragedy where she jumped out, something seemed wrong with her.
- This man's approach to putting the past behind him isn't so different from Bill Clinton's strategy of moving forward.
- Clinton brought his new Sims to Mexico to discuss the future, not the past—exactly what the driver was doing on his street, just with less luxury.
- Clinton's in a resort in Mexico saying let's move on while a guy in a shitty car kills someone saying the same thing—it's just different scales of the same impulse.
