When I heard the news, I do what I always do when I’m sad. I draw. I remember the show as a kid but it was never a big impact on my childhood. But when the meme “we are Number 1” song started to go around the internet in 2016, he brought many people joy and hope during a tough year for many, including myself. This is so unfair but he will be missed and remember. Prayers go out to him and his family.

As I get older I’m finding that a lot of the “intellectuals” I used to admire are actually just condescending and pretentious. And also realizing how much more important it is to be present, considerate, and empathetic because nobody really knows what they’re talking about and anyone who claims to know everything about anything is feeding you bs.

“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.”

– Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

I am also realizing that actual intellectuals make their subjects easy to understand, and faux intelectuals will attempt to baffle.

“If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself.”

– Albert Einstein

“In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well for years I was smart, I recommend pleasant.”
