I find the concept that my ideas are not flawed (and how dare anyone suggest they are) and success is a matter of connections and existing wealth more self pleasing.
You see "people succeeding too much", i see "amazon workers peeing in bottles", which I suspect is a fundamental difference between Europe and the States (in point of view, i'm not claiming this is a black and white issue).
