    Where the fuck do people get the money to live in this completely useless, detached, ego-centric, bullshit fashion?

      The world has to be in an utter state for people to voice contempt for a person who’s simply walking around.

      The same place artists get it? As long as people enjoy watching what you do and are inspired by it it is worth something.

        Generally speaking, artists get money by making and selling art, or more often by having a day job, they earn it, this guy is just trying to win a bet. It’s just masturbatory.

          I very much doubt that the primary motivation to be the first person to walk around the world from South America to the UK is a bet. It’s … Y’know, probably more to do with being the first person to do that.
