I wouldn't be surprised if this guy had a tough time dealing with people and couldn't stand working for anyone or managing employees. I think if he was born 20 years later he would have gambled all his money away on day trading schemes.
There are a lot of losers out there -- isolated, paranoid and looking for their loophole in the system. They'd be just fine if they'd realize that getting some social skills and learning to work well with others would fix most of their problems with the world.
- solve 11y agoHe didn't want to live an ok life and fix his problems. This is a man who wanted to find a way to the very top.
- narrator 11y agoHis failing thought was that he thought he could get to the top by himself by executing some tricky scheme, as if he were some sort of comic book character. It did work for him, for a bit. However, most people who don't win the lottery get to the top with the help and cooperation of a lot of other people. He didn't seem like the kind of guy who was trusting enough to develop relationships such that he could advance in life.

- littletimmy 11y agoIf the definition of "loser" is being isolated, paranoid, and looking for a loophole in the system, then nearly every philosopher qualifies. The word loser is a shitty judgmental word, almost always used perjoratively, and never descriptively.

- lectrick 11y agoReally? I think that if he was born 20 years later, he would have been a web developer. He has a knack for pattern-matching, kind of a programmer-brain feature, don't you think?
