The more I read from the highly cerebral, with their exquisitely-crafted, complex philosophies for why they are so furious at [take your pick: gays, Jews, women, sluts, immigrants, socialists, whatever], the more convinced I become that the whole edifice is constructed on one big problem: they don't know how to make friends. Not valuing human capital or knowing how to make friends -- which of course requires forgiving things like hypocrisy -- is very much downstream of their other problems.
That was dark, but so true. Having understood the process, I made a midlife shift. There will always be challenges in life, finding your crap tolerance limits makes all the difference. Building that charisma and passion is essential.
I suppose there is sound advice here for getting ahead in life. I prefer to take my counsel from less pragmatic but more wise and moral sources. That may mean I am less successful as the world measures success. I can live with it.
I love it so much.

Thank you.
Sound counsel!
Best to acknowledge the element of "irreducible rascality" than to sweep it under a rug into a pile that someone trips over later
