You can't go through a great lot of pain without the competitive drive, the hunger for greatness. In other primates, it's expressed in form of strength, in humans in the shape of great accomplishments.
If we were all nice people who don't mind being last, we wouldn't be "here" now.
Of course, the "non-abusive population" (you name it) have done great things, they help maniacally driven people like Musk to archive things, but they are the ones who lack the assertiveness and initiative, they're the cogs in the machine.
- krapp 8y agoSo what are you then, dgut? You seem to believe society is divided up between great men who do and lesser men who serve. Are you a top or a bottom? Ubermensch or Untermensch?
- dgut 8y agoI'm just somebody who has lived enough to understand these complexities and appreciate people like Musk. In my mind, this guy should just have "walked it off". But I've developed a thick skin because of my past. The mind is delicate and fuzzy.
