It might limit his ability to effect his will in the world, but I see his availability as unchanged.

What do you feel when you make a comment like that? Satisfied at your intellectual superiority? Confident in your status as someone able to see what’s right? Proud of yourself that you “tell it like it is”

Have you ever stopped to think about the prices you pay for that behavior?

Let’s game it out. You don’t know me. I could be Paul Graham for all you know. I could be the person in the world that would unlock the very door you need to open to get what you’re working towards. I could be someone totally vulnerable and insecure and end up cascading into despair based on your comment.

That being said. I thought it was a funny comment.

Not if that boorish behavior alienated their administrative assistant.

Thanks for proof reading for me.
