Just because it happens in nature, doesn't mean it's good. I don't really understand the "gets his skull crushed" part. Is that supposed to mean something like "If you continue to feel bad in a way that interrupts 'the grind' you will be crushed so stop feeling bad"? That mindset doesn't sound like something that most people can or should participate in. It sounds toxic.
Grinding hard is being sold to people as some kind of normal that everyone should participate in. And people buy into it, myself included. Maybe I'm not a so-called Silverback and I think this article (short essay?) is trying to validate that it's OK.
In the end, I do agree with "either participate, don't, or find a different way" but I think it might be a tad dismissive to call this "griping" unworthwhile. In order to push back against the culture of grinding, we gotta start somewhere, even if it's by "griping".
