RIP David Lynch

David Lynch has died at the age of 78.

Although he had emphysema from nearly 70 years of smoking, it appears that his death ultimately came as a result of being forced to flee the LA fires.

But yes, he was going to die either way.

People attack me for being pro-smoking, but what do you want? You want to live to be 100? Why would anyone want to do that?

The average US life expectancy for males is 77. Obviously, the reason the US number is so low compared to other countries is that the US is an obese country, and given that Lynch was not obese, he may well have lived another few years if he had not been a smoker. Fair enough.

But who knows – maybe if he had not been a smoker, he would have been obese?

The point is: this smoking thing is really exaggerated beyond anything remotely reasonable. If everyone was in tip-top shape and the government was very strict about toxins in the food and water and in the environment, maybe it would be reasonable to talk about smoking as a health risk, but literally everything is worse than smoking. Watching the most obese country on earth talk about the threat of cigarettes is pathological.

Funnily enough, I was recently talking to someone about the available BluRay releases of the original Twin Peaks, and was going to watch it. Literally, just a few days ago. It’s been a while since I’ve watched it. I like it a lot, though it is of course one of the great tragedies of film and television that the studio interfered and destroyed the show by forcing Lynch to solve Laura’s murder.

I would like to go back and watch some of his other films. I never understood Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway, but in reading other people comment on these films over the years, I’ve realized you’re not really supposed to understand them. I do think Blue Velvet is a great film, and I really appreciate the aesthetic of Dune, which lines up with the books much better than the new films, and it’s unfortunate Lynch’s Dune film was such a disaster when it could have been great.

Though I appreciate the work, I’m definitely not the biggest fan. What I can say about David Lynch in memoriam is that he is the sort of person you want to have in society, involved in the conversation, because he was a very unique person. I remember back a million years ago hearing him on Alex Jones saying that 9/11 was done by the government. He later came out and said that he was a Democrat but that he couldn’t be a Democrat because they try to stop him from smoking. During Trump’s first term, he said he was the greatest president in history because he was destroying everything. He was obsessed with Transcendental Meditation and other strange new age things. You need people like this, and unfortunately, our society always sidelines these types of people, as we have a culture that demands uniformity of thought.

As time goes on, more and more interesting people are dying and fewer and fewer are being born. There are very few interesting millennials. Me, Sam Hyde, Moist Critical, that guy from My Chemical Romance, maybe a few others. I’ve never seen any interesting people younger than millennial. They are very feminine retards who say nothing interesting and can’t even make memes. All zoomer memes are just bastardizations of millennial memes. These people are totally devoid of creativity.

People can complain about boomers and they should, but there were a lot of interesting boomers. That’s just a fact. They made a lot of good music and other art. They did a lot of weird things.

So, those are really the messages: smoking is good and it’s a shame all the weird people are gone.
