This article seems useful

The article seems to be blowing up!  I've seen it pop up in several unrelated circles and its views are through the roof.

I wonder if the challenge he laid down will be taken up.  It'll be interesting to revisit this in a year and see what happens.

I think it's the Glengarry Ross thing that does it.

I disagree with the author in that this is how to best get results, or that the world necessarily acts that way, or that you should put up with ("man up") behavior like that.  But that's the part people are going to pay attention to...Expect more libertarians, come soon.

Yeah, I didn't get a lot out of that part. But I assumed the author included it for shock value. If the side effect is more Libertarians, well, that kind of sucks because I don't think that was at all the intended message.

As far as I can tell from his articles and, mostly, from This Book is Full of Spiders, Wong doesn't go so far as libertarianism, but does get on the preachy side when it comes to self reliance and personal responsibility.  It's hard to tell at parts how much of that is his cynicism and how much of it is just his writing style.

Probably understandable, if his main audience (and the communication he receives from them) are indeed what he describes.   White male twentysomethings who feel the world owes them something, it's enough to drive a man insane.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.  Given his demographic audience, I can just imagine the kind of shit that ends up in Wong's email folder...

I think I might have a notion.

Pretty sure that out of everyone here, you are in the best position to know.
