Maybe so but is that a good reason to to drum up distaste for that person? Crikey! Having nice things is a ethical crime-in-of-itself now? Even if he did lots of nice things? Those things do not matter, the main issue is he had a nice life and once said something a bit weird. Do you not see this is a terrible line of reasoning?

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.
