Why Is This Email Late? Billionaire Myths, CIA Failures & A Mental Health Update
There a dangerous myth about billionaires that they're self made and it affects the hyper individualist culture in America.
Good Tuesday friends…Wait, a Krish Mohan email on a Tuesday?? Yes, I know this is late this week. There’s been a lot going on over the last 2 weeks and I’m behind on a lot of things. So my apologies on the delay.
This past week, we had a COVID exposure. Everyone tested negative and our health is good condition. No worries there. But it is always stressful in those situations. Especially when depression and anxiety are rearing their head and working in tandem like a the most bummer of a dynamic duo one could ask for.
But working through the lows I did come to a few conclusions. And pardons if this is something repetitive. I’ve decided to move forward with Fork Fulls without an audience. I realized that having an audience and a specific date was adding stress to my life and my work. This isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy the audience or that its you guys’ fault. It’s not.
I have to work through my perceived expectations which leads to negative intrusive thoughts and spirals me into depression. So I’m giving myself a little more breathing room to create in-depth content about some complex issues. Instead of rushing it and creatively limiting myself, I can take the time to create something really interesting and funny about big taboo subjects and help educate folks.
With that said, I’ll be continuing my New Material Virtual shows. I have one coming up THIS THURSDAY at 8pmEST! You can attend from literally anywhere in the world! And I hope you do. I have several new bits I’m excited to share with you guys.
Lastly, I’m working on a lot of big projects right now, and I’m going to be patient with myself in producing them. The work I do is usually produced by a team on major shows. There’s a graphics person, additional writers, video & audio editors, producers, etc. I’m doing all those jobs, and shouldn’t expect myself to do it on the same time as some of these big shows. So as much as I’m asking patience from myself I’m also hoping y’all stay patient as well and know some good stuff is on its way.
And now on to what this delayed email is all about. This week’s videos and podcast cover a lot of the problem within the American Oligarchy that has permeated our society. So I hope you enjoy and if you dig these videos, give them a like and a share!
FEATURED VIDEO OF THE WEEK
There are several myths about Billionaires in our society that perpetuate the problems of hyper individualism in American society. One of the biggest of these is that billionaires are self made through hard work and making smart decisions. In reality it comes from inheritances and stealing from workers.
Not a video person? No worries, here’s the audio version of this podcast for your listening pleasure.
