Your follow-up makes a lot more sense and seems less judgmental, thank you for clarifying. There is one part I have to disagree with, though: ...the loss to society is large. There will always be people looking for the quick buck, quick fix, quick... everything. From FB app overnight success stories to sculpting your abs while watching TV, most everybody wants to exert the least amount of effort for the most amount of gain; usually so little effort that the gain they think they can achieve is nigh impossible. These are not the types of people who start businesses, period. They don't spend 6 days a week at the gym. If they want to "get rich quick" after reading an article such as this, it stands to reason they wanted to do the same thing before reading it. The only possible outcomes for these types of people are, (a) failure or (b) short-term success with long-term failure. The author doesn't strike me as that type of person, even if he does inspire subsequent lazy people to be just un-lazy enough to jump on a bandwagon created by the media. Finally: Thanks for the compliment ;)
