but he is at around that age where a lot of people start to wake up for the next phase of life and begin to mature. He did some absolutely despicable things and even as an evangelist of pacifism I wanted to punch him in that smirky face, but if he can come out of this as a genuinely changed person he'll have the story and intelligence to actually make a meaningfully positive contribution to the world. Or he could just continue smirking and inspiring more memes. His choice.
He is 34. Close to half of his life is over. I think that's a tad past the point of "starting to mature".
I'm his age, and I'm pretty sure the last time that was a reasonable excuse for my behavior I was maybe 15 or 16.
Long Chile was a silly place.
