Mike Tyson genius advice that no one gets.
I just wanted to highlight this for the group. As to the recent fight, I am happy that Tyson got a payday and what he needed, but the fight itself was ridiculous lol. But this isn't about that. This is about an interview that Mike did with a 14 year old girl that you might have seen. People thought it was pretty funny (as did I) because of how dark it was to answer a kid interview that way. But let's look at what he said because whether he intended for it to be this way or not, it's genius. He was asked about the fight coming up and his legacy. His answer: "I don't believe in the word Legacy. I think that's just another word for ego. Legacy doesn't mean nothing. That's just some word everyone grabbed on to. Someone said that word and everyone grabbed on to the words and now it's used every 5 seconds. It means absolutely nothing to me. I'm just passing through. And I'm going to die, and it's going to be all over. Who cares about legacy after that? What a biggie, so I'm going to die, so I want people to think I'm this or I'm great. I'm NOWHERE. I'm NOTHING. We are dead with dust. We nothing. Legacy is nothing." Link to the interview: https://www.instagram.com/kfcbarstool/reel/DCXuQZGOeCR/ It sounds nihilistic and morbid, and people think he's just a dumb boxer who's in the spotlight frequently. But I think it's actually genius if people think about what he is actually saying in the right way. People are clinging to relevance. Clinging to importance. Clinging to meeting other peoples standards and trying to be "high value." When really all this breeds is pretentiousness and fear and shame. The reality is that nobody gives a fuck. You could impact millions of people, and a generation or two after you are gone, no one will remember your name. If they do, it might be in a history book or record somewhere. And you won't care. Because you are either dead, or you are in a different place if you believe in an afterlife.
