Me : That's common.
X : But they still ignore it.
Me : Common also.
X : Why?
Me : Most people don't like having their beliefs challenged especially when they're spending millions of other people's money on it.
Me : That's normal. I used to feel like that at 22 and that was 28 years ago. I suspect you're suffering from a delusion that life is a meritocracy.
Me : Lots. Find what makes you happy. Ignore every "secrets of success" guide ever written - it's almost all outcome bias. Realise that the enemy to your own happiness is normally yourself and the unrealistic ideals of society.
Me : Being happy? Not in my book.
