DunkinYonuts

I'm 33 and probably thought similar to the original thought at some point in my life. I've only grown sympathetic after seeing the transformation of my dad as he gets older. Without having to make sense of how a profoundly patient and caring man could slowly morph into a slightly short tempered form of himself, I would have never tried to rectify it.

I think the original comment actually unintentionally hit the core of it. The younger poster exalted imdomitability. A lot of people grow up enjoying and expect themselves to be technically, personally, and professionally indomitible. Any regression on those fronts is understandably infuriating.

It's definitely interesting, but it's been rough to get through a few of them. Some of guests spout sage-like advice with complete ignorance of any survivorship bias.

Other ones, just when I think they're going to go that way, make humble admissions that there was a confluence of people and ideas that they combined with hard work to get to where they were at. So there are some good ones.

That all could be my side-line opinion though, tinted by my ego protecting itself while I'm not successful.
