Jensen on loser mindset

The premise that even if we competed in China, that we’re going to lose that market anyways… You’re not talking to somebody who woke up a loser. That loser attitude, that loser premise makes no sense to me.

Genuinely the most energized I felt in weeks hearing this. I adore the argumentation rhetoric of the rationality community and Western liberalism proper. Although sometimes the argumentation gets too technical, winning the clever small points while missing the big one. And sometimes it’s just too long.

Back in my childhood, in the gutters, you could just end arguments by telling people to grow up. Actually, we didn’t say “grow up”, we said “man up”. It’s stupid, but sometimes I wish I could go back to telling people to man up, to compete, and to stop whining. A return to tradition, if you will.
