    They’re not as rich as him. If you have shit tons of money you can be a braindead moron and still fail upwards.

    I’m remembering the old duelist’s adage, that the worst opponent to have is an amateur - because you have no idea what kind of idiocy they’ll try

      After 30 or so years of witnessing firsthand that the amateur really only has one or two moves, though… at a certain point that adage kind of falls apart.

        I dunno, in this case the amateur happens to be able to absorb a whole lotta hits too - they can fail over and over while waiting for you to slip.
