Admiring the accomplishments of others is unbecoming? That is remarkably sad.
As the root post says, it is amazing what Musk has achieved, and I'd love to learn what the secret is. I suspect it's that he knows the limits of his own capabilities so he finds the right people to execute his visions. But it is absolutely remarkable that a payment startup guy kicked off two envelope-pushing companies that have achieved such heights.
Countless rich guys have taken their lucre and tried to change the world, usually to extraordinary failure. Tesla and SpaceX have both changed the world and entire industries (as did PayPal), and they're just getting started.
- whateveracct 7y agoSorry but nobody is remarkable in my eyes no matter how hard they try
- zionic 7y agoThat seems like a very toxic and unhealthy mindset. If I had to guess, seemingly an internal defense mechanism stemming from one's own insecurities.
- whateveracct 7y agoI don't see anything unhealthy about it. The mindset sees people as people. Nobody is especially special and everyone is simply Themself. Ever seeing others as More Impressive somehow is what is toxic. You seem to imply that I am insecure about my lack of success or skill in relation to others? And that I wish to bring others down to defend against this insecurity? Fundamental misunderstanding - we speak different languages and hold different values. I never compare myself to others and am very happy with my life and the way I'm going about it. And if someone regarded me in this way, I would reject it and tell them to cut it out.
