Also wrote this wonderful article on Formula 1, which was sadly removed by the publisher: https://web.archive.org/web/20240301170542/https://www.roada...

Thank you, this was excellent! From McMansions, to F1, to eroticism the author has quite the range!

Beginning with:

  "Most of us have the distinct pleasure of going throughout our lives bereft of the physical presence of those who rule over us. Were we peasants instead of spreadsheet jockeys, warehouse workers, and baristas, we would toil in our fields in the shadow of some overbearing castle from which the lord or his steward would ride down on his thunderous charger demanding our fealty and our tithes."

This is gutturally revolting to me. The insinuation here is that the average person is a passenger in their own lives, without free will.

You don't come out of the womb and someone puts a stamp on your head saying "Barista! Paperboy! Grocery bagger!"

Barring considerable physical/mental disabilities, or personal choices like deciding to have kid(s) that you're financially responsible for at a young age with no money, I'd make the argument that most people can become millionaires.

		> I'd make the argument that most people can become millionaires. Make the argument then. How do “most” people become millionaires if that requires owning businesses or getting high up in a company? Who works for them if the majority of people are at the top?
