Explain to me how your life will ever be better than that of Dr. Brian May.
>> You can't
simple. i dont like curls.
imagine trying to comb that mess
pass
That's Sir Dr. Brian May to you, pleb.
Is he the guy from topgear
i did not take Farrokh's schlong up my arse
>>8047686
>> Guitarist from queen
>> PhD in astrophysics
>> Commander of the Order of the British Empire
His field of study is one of the most boring in astronomy, the zodical light. It's so boring nobody finished his project after he left and so he could complete it later on.
>>8047940
However, he did actually complete his work. Have you?
>>8047963
just wait
i was too busy playing trumpet, walking on the moon and winning the tour de france at the same time

...wait
He didn't get his PhD until he was 60.
But yeah, I'm having trouble here - there are certain people I prefer for my personal tastes, but being one of the greatest guitarists in rock history, in one of the greatest bands in rock history, and making a real contribution to the scientific community... he's hard to compete with.
In fact, most of the people I admire more than May really had pretty shitty lives...
Alan Turing died miserable, disgraced, and in obscurity.
Serge Gainsbourg kinda became an awful person by the end of his life, and I personally believe if you're awful, it's gotta torture you on some level.
Dogen may have been a great philosopher, but he was also an ascentic monk, which must've sucked.
Heidegger was also a great philosopher, but reprehensible on many levels.
Margaret Atwood is an incredible writer, but a deeply unpleasant person.
Charles Mingus was also a pretty miserable individual.
Haruki Murakami is kind of a boring person.
Neal Stephenson's pretty cool, but I do wonder how it feels to be a science-obsessive who's only ever worked in fiction.
Robert Louis Stevenson died weak, diseased, and with no critical respect in his lifetime.
Antonio Vivaldi was underappreciated.
Max Stirner lived the completely unexceptional life of a schoolteacher, and today is better known for Marx's hatred of him than any of his own work.
Piotr Kropotkin's life was literally riches-to-rags.
Stephan Zweig was completely unrecognized until after his death.
It's a cold, cold world.

It probably won't. Must be a really epic life. He probably made some really good decisions.
>>8049783
well, he learned to play guitar really well, then he started a band with a good singer, then he decided to study astronomy to become a research scientist
>>8049783
And probably avoided to irritate the wrong people...
>>8049780
how is margaret atwood a deeply unpleasant person?
>>8049790
This is probably the point where I will fail the worst.

this interview is fucking painful
>>8049780
Well "being awful" is defined as irritating others, isn't it? And yeah hell is other people. At least if you are reasonably normal emotionally wise.

I've always thought he looks like Newton.

I think she's earned the right to be a little cranky.
