Same goes for bodybuilding. Kevin Levrone in bodybuilding has achieved more than what you've achieved in mathematics, is well known all over the world and will always have his legacy. He's not the first person to try his hand at things like movies and fail. That's nothing to be ashamed of.
What exactly about your being a maths teacher (if you are indeed one) puts you so much above him that you have to mock his attempts at making something of himself after his stint at bodybuilding? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
If you view mathematics and bodybuilding as fields of "equal value" you can say that Levrone's achievements are far greater than Determinators.
If you take a more realistic approach and seeing mathematics as part of the group "mankinds finest intellectual pursuits" and seeing bodybuilding as part of the group "monkeys sticking needles up their ass, blowing sugah daddies cocks and taking years of their lives while posing for fags and teenagers with latent homosexual tendencies", then it is not far fetched to claim that mathematics is a far more worthy pursuit than bodybuilding.
With this in mind, claiming that Determinators achievement is greater than Levrones = not far fetched either (this is of course given that we are not judging by a sense of personal satisfaction that one get from attaining mastery and success (by witch sand castle competitions would be comparable to physics breakthroughs. The standard for comparison between fields and for assigning values of importance in this case must be the criteria given in the second paragraph).
While Levrone is a part of a bizarre subculture where he really contributes nothing to humanity besides inspiration to a few fags with punctured arses, being part of the mathematical community (and getting a honors degree, quite an accomplishment) = being part of the tradition of brilliance that makes humans great, and one of the biggest reasons for the development of the modern civilization.
Determinator can do many things with his mathematical ability, and using his good intellect for something productive (like shaping the minds of young hopefuls) puts him in a position where he is absolutely "allowed" to make fun of former roid monkeys with an alcohol problem.
In Kevin's defence, at least he is trying to do something, and his odds of success does increase with every attempt. Unfortunately, even though the odds = increasing, it will still be pretty low as the man from an outsiders point of view = not very talented in music or acting, and there has been questions about his work ethic, an extremely important ingredient in reaching the pinnacle of any area. With his age and "late start" in mind, it is doubtful that he'll ever get the quantity of training needed to become successful in his field (and his charisma (the thing that probably carried Ahhnold to the top of Hollywood) is practically nonexistent, so unless his personality magically transforms, he is screwed.
Important question: What can Determinator contribute? He can shape young minds, he can help cracking engineering problems and so on. What can Kevin do with his skillset? Not much. For once: He is an absolutely crappy musician
And please don't use this post to analyze Arnold. Arnold is a different specimen and his bodybuilding legend should be viewed as a byproduct of a man with fantastical abilities and work ethic competing in an era where bodybuilding could be viewed as something more than an obscure drug fest. Arnold got himself to the top in 4 different areas, and should be worshipped for the personality attributes that made him great.
But let's not forget themain reason for this rare Debussey post: To deliver a message: Kiwol is a penis.
DeSpermInarseNator: Very good accomplishment with your degree. Did you participate in the Putnam competition? What was your score?
