> You’re in transit, you’re going somewhere but the journey itself takes up the majority of the experience. That's how most people function. People work their asses off so that they can do something fun two weeks a year. > Another thing about being a pop star is that you cannot avoid the fact that some people are simply determined to prove that you are stupid. Because even though people clearly have different levels of intelligence, saying this out loud goes against values of the society, and keeping the society together is more important than being truthful. This is one of those things that "normies" understand subconsciously but never articulate, while autists rarely understand because it's never articulated. > Another thing about being a pop star is that you cannot avoid the fact that some people are simply determined to prove that you are stupid Pop star gets successful by playing a role of a stupid person. Some people think she's actually stupid. It doesn't take a degree in social sciences to connect the dots. > I’ve always wondered why someone else’s success triggers such rage and anger Jealously has existed since the dawn of time. Various cultures have sayings along "nothing makes one happier than someone else's misery". > the patriarchal society I've noticed that many people who see themselves as oppressed get tunnel vision and attribute lots of unrelated problems to said oppression. This is one of those subconscious biases that exist because having them gives you massive social advantage because you can get all the pity you want. > Over recent years some people seem to have developed a connection between fame and moral responsibility that I’ve never really understood. Rich and famous people have power. They're expected to use that power for good regardless of how they got the power. | ||

No, she means literally being in transit from point A to point B. On a tour bus, in an airline lounge, on a plane, in a cab, in some random hotel, backstage waiting to go on stage. I did 100% business travel for a couple of a years, and it was pretty grueling despite mostly being stationed with the same customer for a couple of months. At the Charli XCX level, you may be doing 4 gigs in 4 different cities in 3 days: | ||
