    It is quite terrifying that people think these unoriginal and inaccurate regurgitators of internet knowledge, with no concept of or heuristic for correctness… are somehow an authority on anything.

      All you need to succeed on this planet is the self confidence to say things. It literally does not matter the accuracy. It’s how you express it. I wish I knew this when I was younger. I’d cut out all the imposter syndrome that held me back.

        I wish it was that easy. If you go too long it’s boring, and if you’re too confident you sound arrogant. At this point I’ve kind of just accepted there are people who can sell, and that I’m not one of those people.

        I think this depends on the crowd. Unfortunately, the intelligent crowd and the crowd with money and power is not exactly the same. Though hopefully there is overlap.

        You, and we, are better off for it.

        The issue is that it’s been forgot (Remember the 5th of November)

      Only thing you need to do to realise how bad they are is to play Chess against it. Vs using a chessbot from 30 years ago, it really shows.
