    I’m incredibly jealous of Ben Norton.

    Not that he owes me or anyone anything, but I emailed him once and introduced myself as a fellow comrade, and while he had no reason to trust me, and I wasn’t expecting him to offer any assistance or very many tips for my family and I to get to China, I was hoping he could point me in the right direction, and I was fucking crushed when he basically told me off.

    I really wanted to tell him to go fuck himself, but I didn’t want to burn that bridge.

    And he didn’t even have an ounce of courtesy or anything.

    I think he’s a douchebag now.

    I love his content, but as a person, my opinion of him really fucking soured, and it hurt and pissed me off because he was a personal hero of mine, even though I don’t like to idolize people.

    It’s true: Never meet or interact with your heroes.

        Kit Klarenberg is really fucking cool. And so is Kevin Walmsley. I’ve actually emailed Walmsley, and he is a very good guy.
