bad-takes

if you like rick rubin's book, it explains why your art sucks and why it is still not popular

you pick false idols that have no idea of survivorship bias and follow the cargo cult

the only thing that works is persistence, proximity and luck

but mostly luck

if you don't agree, you've lost already

No complaints here. I like Rubin as a thinker and his work with Beastie Boys and Jay-Z, but his book only applies to his own experience and the providence of his circumstances. 

But yeah, someone could replicate my life and thinking exactly and never reproduce my outcomes.
