He has some clips of him doing street work in the states in his show trick or treat. It's funny cause no one has any idea who he is, and I think they are a bit put off by his self-deprecating style. He acts like he has no confidence in his tricks, so it has more effect when they do work.
Your other comments sound like you have become disillusioned with the world I believe everyone is unique. On the surface we can seem incredibly similar yes, but deep down there is something unique that makes you who you are, maybe something like a soul. Soul isn't quite what I want to say but I don't know any other name for it.
It's funny you say disillusioned because i think deep down we are all searching for the same things.
We all participate in activities in order to transcend a state of emotional or physical being.
A simple thing may be like we're hungry. A bodily function sets off an emotional one, causing us to increase the drive we have in order to get food. Once we have the food, the body then sends messages to the brain to relieve the distress.
most of the time we are too busy living life to understand what the distress is so we try to cover it up with other stuff or block it out or ignore it or the fact we are too busy trying to get something else makes us neglect it.
We have gotten so lost in the persuit of that emotional response that most don't even know it exists. Even now when we persue it, we don't get it directly but we get a means to achieve it, money. Money makes the world twice as difficult as it should be, we now relate all our goals by regards to how much financially it costs to obtain.
Look back to my original idea. The simple obtaining food to eat and reach and emotional state has now become.
you need a stove to make it on
you need a house with a stove in it
you need a gas/electric supply to power your stove
you need money to pay rent/mortgage for your house
you need a job for money
you need a green card for a job
you need qualifications for a job
you need to go to school to get qualifications
you need to get money for school
you need to be supported financially to make it through school
etc...
etc...
and on top of this, the opportunities are not abundant to get the job you want and it brings in the idea of competition since everyone else wants the same thing and that multiplies your need by like a billion
So we as a society have created all these intermittent obstacles we need to motivate ourselves to get through to get something like food.
Sometimes people often wonder why people in the third world maybe happier with their simpler lives, most of the time they simply don't have to jump through a million hoops to gain that emotional state we all wish. At most youre requirements are daylight and opportunity with a killing implement and fire wood.
i guess what really makes us individuals is how we order these hoops and how many of them we have infront of us which can be based on multiple internal and external factors. But deep down I think we all strive for some similar things.
