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

    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.
