This is certainly true if you're a rich international student paying international student fees.
on this topic, there's an excellent blog post called 'Who by very slow decay' which I think would change most people's minds if they read it. https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/07/17/who-by-very-slow-decay...
suicide, if done right, is one of the best ways to die.
Louis CK (in the leaked set) presented himself as transgressive since he was playing the part of a victimized white male who can punch up at snowflakes. Nothing he says is extremely controversial though except perhaps the 'asians are women' line, and at this point you can actually hear groans in the audience
I think he's describing Ego Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_death it reminds me of this quote from André Gide:
"But, above this, there is still a higher state, to which Goethe achieves, the Olympian. He understands that originality limits, that by being personal he is simply anyone. And by letting himself live in things, like Pan, everywhere, he thrusts aside all limits until he no longer has any but those of the world itself. He becomes banal, but in a superior way.
It is dangerous to achieve too early that superior banality. If one does not absorb everything, one loses oneself completely. The mind must be greater than the world and contain it, or else it is pitifully dissolved and is no longer even original."
