>It would be arrogant of me to dismiss the advice of someone with real experience and success
It would also be arrogant to assume that, just because someone isn't "successful", that it's automatically impossible for them to say anything worth listening to, and that you need to close your ears to everything they say.
This way of thinking is also retarded because a "successful" person can also lead you astray with bad advice (or outright lies), which is why you need to be able to think for yourself, see what makes sense and what doesn't, instead of relying on indirect factors.
No wonder the world is so fucked, when people go around thinking like this. These fuckers see a person in authority saying something and they automatically believe it like sheep.
>All the data points at the fact that you're just another crab in a bucket.
Pure projection. You're the one automatically dismissing advice. You're like a crab who's closing its eyes and refusing to acknowledge that the bucket even has an opening.-
