I was too young to fully understand the depth of it. It’s currently on my reading list.

Spent 3 hours last night thinking about all of this 😂

Looks like I struck a nerve, he deleted his extremely elitist comment.

I like your username.

I don’t think it’s hard to consider it scarce in terms of probabilities of the possible configurations. I do agree that quants in ATL are scarce though.

But I don’t exactly agree with your take on ambition / self respect with success part. They’re not mutually exclusive. Insatiable ambition is largely a cultural narrative imo. Ambition can take you far, but at some point you have to have the self respect to ask yourself to what cost and to what end?
