Betterness

Why is so much of the left so very invested in attempting to convince everyone against all evidence that no one is more capable at anything than anyone else? And they really seem to hate that in many cases, they are just born that way. Michael Jordan (my typical example) just had a much higher ceiling for being a basketball player than I do. And that’s true no matter how much I trained and practiced.

They always pull out some cockeyed clownery like, “Michael Jordan wasn’t born knowing how to play basketball!” I mean, who gives an ever-livin’ fuck. That’s totally irrelevant to anything. I wasn’t knowing born how to read or comprehend complex info in a flash and I’m still better at it than nearly all of anyone who has ever lived.

I know that it galls them terribly how much everyone is not the same and that they never will be. And they want us to pretend that this interchangeability is the case in reality nonetheless. But I won’t do it. I just care about that reality and dealing with the world as it is far too much.

I was not on maternity leave obviously, but I did the same thing after a two-week vacation on a job that I’d grown increasingly frustrated with. There, I’d get 500-1,000 emails a day. I rolled back in, took one look at my inbox, and deleted every single thing in there. There were no consequences other than not having 10,000+ emails to deal with.

Recommend, would do again.
