Morgan Housel

What social media did is it showed you people who ostensibly should be peers, or at least that's the idea.

They use the same platform that you do.

That's not a celebrity.

It's not Shaq.

It's just a guy who looks like me, but he's obviously living a much better life than I do.

So it created this idea that that's where I should be.

And I think that's the poison of what it is.

It gives the impression that people who are showing you a tiny little fraction of their life, it gives you the impression that that's what you should be doing right now at this moment too.

You bring up our friend Jimmy Carr, who I admire so.

I think he's so brilliant.

I have such a fondness for comedians.

Have you got to speak to him?

No, we've DM'd a couple times.

But I love the guy.

He's so great.

I think what's great about comedians is that if you have a favorite comedian, you don't know and you don't care how much money they make.

I saw Louis C.K.

live a couple weeks ago.

And this is part of who he is.

He stumbles out on stage.
