I'm through.
This is like a new level of improvised savagery, right?
So I'm like, okay, screw it.
And I grabbed the knife out and I stand up and now I'm standing there with a steak knife in my hand.
Well, I mean, you have to start a lot earlier than, hey, I want to rob banks.
Okay.
Most of the guys I knew who robbed banks actually were drug addicts, which meant they were doing it to subsidize the drug habit.
And so they would just go there so they could get a big bunch of money.
They could lock themselves in a hotel, get a lot of drugs, get some women.
And then that was it.
There was no feel for posterity.
They're not thinking, oh, how long is this going to last me?
Like, can I save it?
Can I invest it?
You can't have that feel for it.
So how does somebody grow up, become an adult and have no feel for posterity?
Trauma.
You have to have trauma early on.
You have to have lost connection to the things in society.
So here we do this, we do this, we do that.
