Song at the end: Veering by Kenny Pich

"We used to listen to politicians, and laugh at comedians. Now we listen to comedians, and laugh at politicians."

[MichelleonSunset]

I’ve always seen him as a philosopher who just so happens to be incredibly brilliant at making people laugh.

[DrFunk]

I remember watching the Oprah Winfrey interview when he came back from Africa. Oprah tried to convince him he was crazy and that wasn't normal what he did. Props to Dave sticking to his integrity and ethics.

[jayydanoxx]

"Ethics aren't what they used to be...
People are trying to replace the ideas of good and bad with better or worse, and that is just not true...
A person who only does what's better or worse is the easiest person to control. They are a mouse in a maze who just finds the cheese, but the ones who knows about good and bad will realize that they are trapped in a maze."
~Dave Chappelle

[hugh_jasso]

"People are trying to replace the idea of Good and Bad, with Better or Worse, and that is incorrect"
Facts!

[Larry-qzes]

My uncle said to me "Never wonder about people who attack you for failing at something and trying again because they never took a chance themselves."

[d.michael]

He ain’t run away from 50 mil, he ran from what came with it!

[digitalhermit]

Dave: "I want to know what your great grandfather did"
Me: *German sweating intensifies*

[ossen]

A man without integrity is a hollow shell drifting through time and space.
Integrity is the core of a character and that's what Dave demonstrated.

[cindymananzalamartinez]

He's a comedian whose words are to be taken seriously.

[brianglynn]

He played the long game, got himself a $60 mil deal with Netflix. A clearer head, a more comfortable version of fame and he seems so much more relaxed these days. Gotta respect him for that, a genius in more than just comedy

[michaelzumpano]

Dave has a way of wrapping a brilliant lesson in candy, so you don’t realize what a great teacher he is. He has incredible clarity of thought and consciousness. He is a genius.

[cosmoscoach]

This dude just explained in five minutes why I left a career in clinical biotech to become a preschool teacher. I'm SO much happier, and money is never really an issue...

[manoumino]

Dave chappel is one of the best stand up comedians that isn't afrait to go against and expose the elite and wrong goings of society. He's like the black George carlin

[kieraholmes]

Dave is probably the only rich person who i will actually listen to an take his advice. Why? Cause he has shown everyone he cannot be bought.

[robtk]

"He built more than a community, he built a way." That's brilliant.

[jamaca]

I walked away from money with no skills just the drive to become an artist. I went through homelessness and a few diseases to get where i am now. Which is a self sustaining artist. I can make money full or part time, day or night, but the best part is, i was true to myself and that is priceless.

[coocookachoo]

Money comes and goes, your principles stay with you forever.

[Danielbboylight]

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, but lose his soul?" -Mark 8:36” Dave clearly felt that who he is was more important than money. A wise man indeed.

[Adrian-ugkr]

Can we just take a second to not only appreciate Dave for what he said, but the artist who drew all of this as we watch? I’m riding high on shrooms and the visualizations are amazing.
