I don't understand why the media is pushing this a Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson stuff so hard and why people care about it. Boxing is crude entertainment for low intelligence people.

I'm tired of all this junk entertainment which only serves to give people second-hand emotions that they can't feel for themselves in real life. It's like, some people can't get sex so they watch porn. People can't fight so they watch boxing. People can't win in real life so they play video games or watch superhero movies.

Many people these days have to live vicariously through random people/entities; watch others live the life they wished they had and then they idolize these people who get to have everything... As if these people were an intimate projection of themselves... When, in fact, they couldn't be more different. It's like rooting for your opponent and thinking you're on the same team; when, in fact, they don't even know that you exist and they couldn't be more different from you.

You're no Marvel superhero no matter how many comic books you own. The heroes you follow have nothing to do with you. Choose different heroes who are more like you. Or better; do something about your life and give yourself a reason to idolize yourself.
