What? Nice strawman there.
>main issue is that he had a nice life and once said something a bit weird
What? No, the main issue is that this guy is so far removed from reality for >99% of the rest of the planet, and yet is preaching all manner of conventional capitalist advice.
I really don't care either way about the guy, I'm not envious of him. I generally just like playing devil's advocate to get people to see things from other perspectives. Its certainly interesting seeing your reaction when all I did was highlight one sentence from the article:
>He got to experience what most of us wish was the real world, as the real world.
- tlarkworthy 6y agoI don't think your selected sentence can be interpreted in any other way other than as envy (wishing for another's life). I do not think I am strawmaning your intent, though you have not explained what alternative you meant if I am mistaken.
