Well I was happy.
Look on the bright side; now you get to stop thinking!
This one is so bad I still can't figure out what they actually mean
According to reddit... she just wants you to watch her video on loop and ask about it in the comments to boost her numbers...
So don't try because you might fail. That's not wisdom it's justification for not doing something.

Think you inferred something there. The board did not say to not do it; only to calm down, maybe.
It is easy to see how Buddhism can be seen as a bit of a downer.

He probably would. Often Buddhist teachers seem almost childlike. In terms of openness and wonder at life, not in immaturity.
In 1989 Rinpoche moved to the United States and in 1990 began five-year tenure as the first holder of the World Wisdom Chair at Naropa University. During that time Rinpoche founded Mangala Shri Bhuti, an organization dedicated to establishing a genuine sangha of the Longchen Nyingtik Lineage in the West. Weaving his ancient spiritual heritage with the many threads of a modern Western culture, Rinpoche is known for his uncompromising integrity, deep conviction in altruism, and insistence that all beings can awaken to their own enlightened nature.

How about a cookie then?
“Rinpoche, what is the sound of a bald man shampooing?”
“Mu!”
Sorry, that should say COFFEE in the afternoon
Pretty sure if someone filled their house with cash we'd think they were crazy too. Rich people don't have cash, they have assets, i.e. they own parts of at least theoretically productive businesses.

C'mon, you know that quote wasn't being literal.

Not true. There are many people in the financial industry whose wealth is massively liquid and not involved in businesses at all. I know this from personal experience. They often have several cars, a few houses, a boat, maybe an airplane, but the rest is convertible into hundreds of millions or more in days, by pulling it out of the markets, should the need arise. (One reason for this is that partners often have to put up everything they own to secure their partnership; it's actually worse, though, for high-end traders who get the $10M bonuses each year, since they tend to either salt the money away in various financial instruments or splash out extravagantly, which while nice for very high end real estate agents and party planners and interior designers and so forth, doesn't do much for people in the middle class or lower.)
This also applies to many people who exist on trust funds; I went to school with some and the most productive they got was getting seriously into the Arts. Basically, there is a large percentage of American wealth-holders who are sitting on piles of stocks and derivatives and never do more than dabble in a business, if at all.
