kiteinspaceDoublelift talks to his fans with so little emotion. He has so many scripts now, he masks effortlessly. He's so smooth while he's coldly monetizing his stream and building a successful life with his skinny, hot manager girlfriend. I just think CEOs are lonely and so is Doublelift. He was a bullied overweight kid, and while being one - just like I was - he accumulated a lot of intelligence and a lot of trauma, and right now his rapid successful lifestyle isn't going to give him space to process that trauma, he just keeps seeing people as tools and accepting perspectives that he's a good person and society works.
Thinking about all of those successful people with lots of money - the top of the leaderboard. A lot of them were bullied kids, too. I think it's a type of person, if we think about instinct and pack mentality, I think that it's built into us that when we're the underdogs and we fight our way out of a traumatic situation, we use our intelligence and come out on top, we seize the territory and are confident in our dominance.
(disclaimer: I'm projecting, I don't know the real Doublelift, this is only a version of him that exists in my head based on a curated online persona that he performs that I'm using to understand myself)
