Please explain how I’m misreading him
There's a very real sense in which each state follows from each prior state, sure. A good take will cause you to be careful about which broad directions you set course for and which content you consume. A bad one will cause you to dismiss your own responsibility for anything.
Of course, whether you tend toward a good take or a bad one is, on some layer, beyond your control. So I offer this tweet as a non-consensual course-corrector: HAVE THE GOOD TAKE. RESIST THE BAD ONE.
I appreciate your taking the time to respond. I still don’t see how I’ve misread him. It really all boils down to luck. The amount of control or responsibility we assume for our lives is still more luck. The probability that we will have a good take or resist bad ones is luck.
If you have the time, consider this experiment. Try your best to be not scrappy (in whatever way that word is meaningful for you) for a few days. With the more time you spend in this state, the more pressure you are likely to feel compelled to go back into your default state.
The assumption that most people default to is that it would be easier just to give up. For some people, this is not true. Their default settings hover around a certain set point. We should not take too much credit or assign too much blame for such settings.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
IMO: no matter who you think you are, what you think your education/prior success/popularity says about you, what your "role" is, there will likely come a moment when it matters whether your ego rests primarily on status or scrappiness
