No. We are talking about thresholds. He has advantages that may be applicable to < 5% of the population.
If a person quit their job being a short, brown, woman and found happiness and people willing to help them, it is more likely to be replicated by a broader population.

- chana_masala 5y agoNo, you're inferring about WHO this is. I am saying, literally everyone on this planet has experiences which are specific to their skills, their reach and societal perceptions about them.
- nnoitra 5y agoThat's a double edged sword. I understand that he has advantages but don't you think those advantages would make him feeling even more of a fool if he was to waste them? On the other hand you should also consider the emotions of uncertainty, fear and confusion that he had to overcome. Everyone everywhere attempting something similar would face similar emotions which are not at all trivial to overcome. The fact that he is in California may be even worse. Think of it this way his friends are travelling to Bora Bora and becoming millionaires as he has to console himself with being ok while he is choosing the road less travelled.
