> he just sounds like someone hurt that the world does not work as they thought
Exactly, that's another facet of his entitlement that I have deep content for. Many good people work hard to figure out how the world works. Other people have in mind how it should work and get upset when it doesn't.
I think he was just very, very misguided, and he still is. And possibly on drugs. I cannot imagine myself following the reasoning he did. But at the same time I can see he was not trying to take advantage of it.
