    The above exchange is spoon legit demonstrating empathy for me. I didn't take the Pollyanna comment as insulting, but an honest assessment from his POV, and not intended to insult. For crap's sake, I often wish I had more of a spine when it comes to trying to make the most of a crap situation, and he's definitely right that I do let people take advantage of me to the point of getting emotionally wrecked by it.

    I'm sure you can recognize legit vitriol from spoon by now. That post of his was actually a bit flattering.

    The thing with spoon is that he's wicked smart, and his world view is consistent.
    (Yeah, I kinda like him... even though we're polar opposites on most viewpoints
    EDIT: and he's a manwhore [/EDIT])

    Once, a few years back, I was in a spell of depression, and spoon and I were even less friendly with each other then than now (not that I know how it looks now). Anyway, he cajoled me into a Skype call, and within minutes he had me laughing myself to tears.
    He can be brusque, and his impeccable way with words allows him to really cut when he wants to, but behind all of that is someone I can support.

    That's very kind of him and he deserves praise for it. I don't know the guy and I don't assume he goes around IRL insulting people. I can only comment on what I've seen here , and very little of that has been other than obnoxious douchery.

    The mere presence of his raw, American, alpha-male awesomeness is insult to all cucks in eye-shot.

    I'm not telling you who to like. General douchery doesn't bother me. Voluntary ignorance bothers me.

    This is why you and I are okay, but other people and I are not okay. You can handle it because you care about being awesome, doing awesome shit and always trying to get better. Other people can't handle it because they're too busy trying to collect victim points.

    They do not happen to the world. The world happens to them.

    This is exemplary in illustrating how a person who sees himself as successful (which i can gather you do) likes to take the credit for that success, and by logical extension, thinks anyone who doesn't enjoy the same level of success is mostly if not wholly responsible for their own fate.

    This is the kind of thinking I had early in life. And then I turned six and realized luck actually does play a part.

    The difference between winners and losers in life is not about where they end up. It's about their ability to distinguish internal and external effects on their life. Winners recognize what they can influence and take steps to do so. They also recognize what they can't influence and accept it as part of a life. Losers fail at one or the other (or both) of these tasks. Both types can end up as 'successful' or 'unsuccessful' (however one might want to define those terms) due to the combination of their own actions and random chance.

    But the idea that you can be a total champion and still fail, or be a total fuckup and still succeed doesn't sit well with successful people, so they often resort to arguments such as the above. OTOH, unsuccessful people often go to the other extreme and blame everything but themselves.

    Does anyone else find it slightly dubious how wuf is getting so much credit for abandoning libtard policies through rational thought and fact based analysis......by people who still embrace libtard policies and deny any rational thought or fact based analysis that would change their mind.

    When's your epiphany coming guys?

    Moving on....

    How about if he instead said "The world doesn't owe you a living". What does that illustrate professor?
