Meanwhile you’ve never actually accomplished anything more than a vacation or raising pets to my knowledge, at least as long as I’ve known you. If one of us suffers from this “effect” it is certainly you.

Dude you flip burgers, get over yourself. Try real restaurant work and get back to me. 

Your life must be pretty shit when you have to compare yourself to disordered people to tell yourself you're doing alright. If you tried something like this in a forum with more functional people they'd laugh you right out of there, kind of like how your time at Kiwi went.

You were praising Chapo to high heaven as a master worker, who is superior in every way, superior leader, better worker, harder worker, carries a superior understanding of people, enjoys superior personal fulfillment, etc. His work was that of a superstar's in that topic, according to you, and you defended his work with determination...

It logically follows that Chapo cannot at the same time be an amazing super worker, a leader worthy of praise to high heaven and also a delusional burger flipping dude who doesn't have a real job.

The quote's over having said he's comparing himself to a rather low bar to praise himself. I understand how people can feel above others, but it's another thing to purposely seek it out. Before he praised his actual work, such as speedrunning the frycook game. He seemed comfortable with that life, but time's passed since then and now his claims have become more grandiose overall. 

It's less what he's doing, and more how he's doing it. His job is a nothing-job, but if it makes him comfortable (as it once did) then it's a big deal to him. In a hyperbolic sense, it's the difference between a God Complex and trying to pull a Buddha; If sitting under a waterfall and meditating is all he needs to do, it makes him happy, and he's become really good at doing so overtime, it matters based on the observer's room to appreciate it rather than the bigger picture.

It's called Savantism. 

I can praise someone for being good at Speedrunning videogames for example while also figuring they must be pretty messed up to be that good at the game. The skill can be appreciated, but unless it's those guys who Speedrun for Charity as a Streamer or something... at the end of the day it's just a game. 

Burger flipping is a real job but I don't understand the habit of high iqs doing low labor. I guess they try to minimize but I am actually just average IQ and it makes sense for me to work more basic jobs.

The whole career progress is only more true for people with high iqs which some refuse to do.

The quote that essentially says "dude you flip burgers for a living, get a real job" is saying that he's comparing himself to a low bar? Chapo did compare himself to you  but thats not why I brought up the quote.

I'd say "dude you flip burgers, get a real job" moreover and most importantly shows your low opinion of his job. Yet when Chapo compared himself to others, not you, in that thread, and it was pointed out that he flips burgers for a living and that by the conventional standards it'd not be considered a high end job, you laughed and discredited the existence of a conventional standard.

Now fast-forward to present. Saying "dude you flip burgers, get a real job" strongly promotes the conventional standard (real vs not a real job). The only difference here w.r.t. that thread is that in that other thread he used his work as an argument to lord over other people, whereas in this case he's using his work to lord over you, with the same "grandiose claims", as you put it. So the whole buddha example doesn't work, as it would perhaps if the context were different. The context is the same, just the target of the humiliation is you this time. I should also note that this time he wins, unquestionably, by the conventional standard, as he has indeed achieved more than you. You have moreover given him permission to lord over you, by the same logic that you used to approve of him lording over others in an identical argument.

It's odd that you were so defensive of Chapo when people pointed out that Chapo flips burgers for a living. To then turn around later and use that same argument to attack him... Well.

I feel like you don't understand what I said. 

I can appreciate someone in a small-world sense becoming good at something insignificant, but once they try to apply it to the bigger picture it begins to look a bit absurd. 

Why'd you tell Chapo to get a real job and how was it different in that topic?

I’ve essentially been a food service worker and landlord for a large majority of the last 7 years. You’ve been to my place, it’s not exactly a bullshit location, and I have a lot of freedom for $1600/month.

Based on his worldly pride, rather than his pride as an individual. 

I swear you keep asking me to re-explain the same thing.

Well maybe if you didnt explain it so poorly.

What about it is confusing to you, the idea of splitting up worldly and individual pride as if two different things?
