Guy who talks about Cornelius Vanderbilt the same way white 20 something girls talk about Taylor Swift
a problematic fave but a fave to be sure
I mean probably less problematic than Taylor Swift since he built Grand Central Terminal and had 0 private jets
had a guy sit me down one time during theater rehearsal and talked to me about andrew carnegie and ‘gospel of wealth’ for two. hours.
this guy also carried around an annotated copy of thoreau everywhere he went, his middle name was ‘maverick,’ and wanted to end up just like the guy from ‘into the wild’ and die young in alaska.
He sounds fascinating
