I don’t think you both enjoy the reputation of being particularly smart

Can anyone remember was there any skaters talking shit about Dylan when he was on top of the game? I feel no one did.
[close]

Palace roasted him in the PWBC news when he put out that super cringe advert skating in Berlin that looked like an aftershave advert, rightfully so too as it was extremely pretentious but tbf I think that was pretty much the only uncool thing he ever did so apart from that he was pretty untouchable.
[close]

You better not be referring to his pro shoe part filmed in Berlin

He is. That video went over a lot of heads & just didn’t sit well with those that are very uncomfortable with themselves & constantly bash anything that deviates from heterosexuality or wanting to dress nice as a male.

Simply put, it went against the grain….

I don’t think you both enjoy the reputation of being particularly smart

If I have that reputation, it’s flattering I suppose,  but this is skateboarding … the currency in this world is “cool,” not “smart”. So sometimes it’s useless in a practical sense and it impresses no one.

I’m proud of my education, degrees, accomplishments and even my IQ (which comes with the caveat/counter productivity of Autism … making things very challenging at times). I did so shit in school my whole life until grad school, which I aced because it was hyper focused on writing and found my niche. But I don’t particularly try to write or speak like I’m wearing all of the above on my sleeve. Skateboarding isn't the context for that in my opinion. Even me being on Slap … it’s never been because I feel elite, its because I like interacting with skaters and regular people regarding my work and I am ok spending the time to sort out misconceptions.

I always admired the simplicity and accessibility of writers like Hemingway. Salinger, Steinbeck, etc. for that very reason. I’m far more impressed with understated geniuses and virtuosos than flamboyant/peacocking ones. I don’t need a stack of thesauruses around me to write a fucking video review or share my dumb little opinion in a “thinkpiece” with no checks and balances/quality control because no editor will even look it over, you know? Writers need editors. It’s critical to the final product.

Also, I’d much prefer everyone interpret and enjoy the part how they want and then discuss it at the spot or in the DMs or whatever. Just like no one needs to be told how beautiful Dylan was 12 years after the world already figured that out. Or that you can simply figure it out by looking at him. “Verso” is a “concept” part? Cool. Heard that already and realized by watching it. That doesn’t mean the entire community needs to turn into Socrates for a week.

What’s the point of reading shit you already know or could have thought of by yourself? Time is the most valuable currency MY audience has. So I do the best I can to respect that. Personally I read to learn or be moved or have perceptions shifted or be entertained. Reading a bunch of super obvious drivel does none of that for me.

Are you my audience who treats me with respect?

I can’t speak to why you personally allow me to squander your time … that’s on you. Weird huh?

As far as why I’m here and doing what I’m doing … again … you certainly don’t seem to genuinely care so no need for me to explain.

Ya’ll squander way more time here than I do … maybe explain why? For one … I wanted to contribute my personal relevant take and bits from the book to make this Beachy/Dylan discussion about a chapter I was in more exciting.

Also, I’d much prefer everyone interpret and enjoy the part how they want and then discuss it at the spot or in the DMs or whatever. Just like no one needs to be told how beautiful Dylan was 12 years after the world already figured that out. Or that you can simply figure it out by looking at him. “Verso” is a “concept” part? Cool. Heard that already and realized by watching it. That doesn’t mean the entire community needs to turn into Socrates for a week.

What’s the point of reading shit you already know or could have thought of by yourself? Time is the most valuable currency MY audience has. So I do the best I can to respect that. Personally I read to learn or be moved or have perceptions shifted or be entertained. Reading a bunch of super obvious drivel does none of that for me.

With time being such a valuable currency why the fuck are you squandering ours and yours?

If I have that reputation, it’s flattering I suppose,  but this is skateboarding … the currency in this world is “cool,” not “smart”. So sometimes it’s useless in a practical sense and it impresses no one.

I’m proud of my education, degrees, accomplishments and even my IQ (which comes with the caveat/counter productivity of Autism … making things very challenging at times). I did so shit in school my whole life until grad school, which I aced because it was hyper focused on writing and found my niche. But I don’t particularly try to write or speak like I’m wearing all of the above on my sleeve. Skateboarding isn't the context for that in my opinion. Even me being on Slap … it’s never been because I feel elite, its because I like interacting with skaters and regular people regarding my work and I am ok spending the time to sort out misconceptions.

I always admired the simplicity and accessibility of writers like Hemingway. Salinger, Steinbeck, etc. for that very reason. I’m far more impressed with understated geniuses and virtuosos than flamboyant/peacocking ones. I don’t need a stack of thesauruses around me to write a fucking video review or share my dumb little opinion in a “thinkpiece” with no checks and balances/quality control because no editor will even look it over, you know? Writers need editors. It’s critical to the final product.

Are you my audience who treats me with respect?

I can’t speak to why you personally allow me to squander your time … that’s on you. Weird huh?

As far as why I’m here and doing what I’m doing … again … you certainly don’t seem to genuinely care so no need for me to explain.

Ya’ll squander way more time here than I do … maybe explain why? For one … I wanted to contribute my personal relevant take and bits from the book to make this Beachy/Dylan discussion about a chapter I was in more exciting.

I think you just like to hear yourself talk.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
