Only if the original author believes in complete inaction. I didn't take the author's point to be that life's unfair but that's cool because it's ok that way.

Only if the original author believes in complete inaction. I didn't take the author's point to be that life's unfair but that's cool because it's ok that way. I took the author's point to be life's unfair and it should be changed.
- alex_c 17y agoYes, but I didn't read much about HOW it should be changed - just that life's unfair and the first step should be to admit that.
- pyre 17y agoBut there is no 'call to arms' for change. The only thing that he seems to be advocating is that 'techno libertarians' need to realize that "do what I did and you'll be rich like me" is a fairytale. It's a fairytale even if a libertarian's utopian wet-dream where to come true. Everyone in a society can't be highly successful, but most of the people he's referring to don't seem to think about their calls of "just grab life by the ball, and you'll be ok" beyond their own anecdotal evidence.
