Dante never worked a day in his life, Dante inherited assets, including houses in Florence and agricultural land in the countryside (in the Camerata area), which guaranteed him an income, allowing him to dedicate himself to studies and politics without having to work.
>>
He was actually a bit of a writer for a while,
>>
... and yet, he still was an incel
>>
why would i give a solitary tinker's fuck how many ducats the hyena who writes poetry in tombs could stuff in his ass
>>
21st century person discovers the notion of 'old money' people living off the rents.
>>
>>25197107
Living off rents is awesome.
t. rents out two houses inherited from parents at exorbitant rates and lives the comfy neet life
>>
>Dante never worked a day in his life
he's just like me
>>
>>25197123
He was a great talent. You aren't like him.

After doing some research, a LOT of some of the greatest writers, artists, inventors, etc. in history basically were either born in money or lucked into circumstances where they didn't have to work to put bread on the table.
Which makes sense in retrospect because you're not gonna write the Divine Comedy or become a polymath like Da Vinci if you have to spend 9 hours a day working the fields. There's just not enough time in a day. Even Socrates didn't worry for money anymore after he came back from his war campaigns. (Mostly cause he inherited some estate, though he still lived like a hobo.)

>>25196618
This is why it's shit.
Cervantes absolutely mogs this pseud.
>>
>>25196618
He repaid his country by giving it endless amounts of presting and inventing the italian language so it's all good
>>
>>25196618
He was most likely a crypto kike and was promoted for this reason.
>>
>>25196618
so literally me

>>25197132
>writing fanfic that's also a hit piece against your political enemies is "great talent"
>>
Surprising amount of hate for Dante here. Interesting.
>>
>>25196618
>Being a major political figure and diplomat in your city state and the greatest writer of your era (or ever) isn't a job.

He was also a scholar and philosopher.
>>
>>25197279
But he wasn't a laborer like a farmer or blacksmith.

so, most men spend 99% of their time chasing pussy, or painting their boat, or reading the Bible and telling their church friends that the Bible condemns being mean to your wife, or maybe playing doom the dark ages or overwatch while the gf goes to the club with her girlies. but a few men are self destructively angry enough to not be satisfied with that life or doing leftist protests or doing actual charity work. as asserted in office space, a man doesnt need a million dollars to do nothing

What a sad little comic
>>
>>25196618
Yes? What's your point? Did you just want to reinforce the concept that anybody with a wage is a loser who will never amount to anything or leave any legacy behind? Friedrich Engels was a trust fund baby and Karl Marx mooched off him.

>>25196618
You sound like a demonic commie.

You have to be high on migger ideology to think such corrupted and stupid thoughts
>>
>>25198198
Nta but what the hell is a “migger”? I can’t keep up with these silly buzzwords.
>>
>>25196638
Do you think that working makes you an incel? Do you think not working helps you in not being one?
How delusional. You have the world upside down. Australian, maybe?
>>
>>25197305
I feel like you went a bit on some personal tangents.
You don't need a million dollars, but if you want to become a complete "master" of your craft you need to be immersed constantly in it, which includes not having to work to put bread on the table, nor worrying about putting bread on the table in the near future. Your cousin who's broke and don't do shit all day still needs to actually leech off from someone, and that's very much the point: he does "nothing". He doesn't buy books to study or paintings materials or whatnot. A renaissance man isn't someone who does "nothing". He does a lot of things, and for that you need a minimum degree of safety from material needs and some pocket money for resources.

Of course you don't need a million dollars, a monthly passive income of above average wages would be enough, but that's something not a lot of people have. And most who do, as you said, might just end up with a hedonistic lifestyle. In addition to having comfortable lifestyle you also need the right personality, it's a game of numbers which is why there aren't Dante's and Da Vinci's popping up every day even though there's plenty of rich people children.

>>25196618
Still wrote one of the greatest works of the English language aside from the Bible.
>>
>>25196618
Well yeah no fucking shit. Pretty much everyone who does any art, writing, philosophy etc. is a rich nepo baby who never had to work for a living.
>>
>>25199267
Wasn’t corncob a poorfag until the 80s or something?

>>25199288
No.

>>25197302
Good for him

>>25196618
