    I get the impression that one of the key things on Reddit is they don’t like the idea that a man can become better through hard and smart work.

    The women don’t like it because it implies Being able to seduce women or generally become a leader is a skill and not an innate attribute.

    The men (for some value of “man”) don’t like it because it implies the reason they don’t have what they want out of life is they aren’t doing the right things which means they could be successful in life and it’s their own fault they aren’t which is contrary to the redditors left wing ethos.

      “I suck at this game so the game is stupid” is what comes to my mind. Instead of trying to get better at it, they spend their time trying to convince the rest of us that we shouldn’t play.

        Yeah, that’s I think a common thread. Change the world instead of changing yourself because it’s mentally easier since nobody expects you to succeed.

          I agree, I think our culture promotes these delusions too. Somewhere along the way we have lost the agreed notion of reality.

          Everyone is encouraged to have their own “truth” these days.

            It’s been something that really stuck with me when I was learning about the fall of the Roman empire.

            The Romans likely thought that they were going to end up controlling all of europe, and even if the empire fell they would still end up in charge of everything because they were just so much more advanced than everyone else. Instead, it ended up being the barbarians who came in and basically took over the whole of Europe because unlike the Romans who had become folded in on themselves, The barbarians had to understand how to survive in reality.

            It’s really frustrating for the people who continue to live in reality, but in the same way, I think the people who choose to remain in reality will ultimately triumph.

              That’s a good comparison, I think it speaks to the cycle of empires in general.

              Towards the end of the Roman empire, Rome itself had more foreigners than Romans.

              Every empire eventually reaches a decadence phase, and it’s reasonably predictable. The Greeks for example became obsessed with sexuality, homosexuality and pedophilia.

    He identifies as a wolf and his fellow soywolves listen to him because he is nice, so he’s telling you how wolves really are.
