wow, motive fallacy from the start. even though I gave stated reasons for the disagreement -- they're just intuitive guesses based on your experience -- you ignored them for motives you imagine I have just because.
this has already helped a few people, so the bias you mentioned isn't really in play here. FFR is a small fraction of my total views. I posted this for the benefit of people here, to read at their leisure. I don't have any expectations for what it will accomplish. you're incredibly presumptuous to presume my motives in spite of me telling you what my reasons for disagreeing are.

The basic gist of your message appears to be "Find a way to just not care that part of trying to succeed is failing. Learn to accept that failing is still growth, and keep acting anyway. Stop caring what other people think about your attempts."

if that's what the gist appears to be, get better at judging sentences before transitioning to "and". (and unless there's a complex gist, which there isn't, 'basic gist' is redundant.)
"don't give a shit about any of the consequences of failure" is not congruent with the message here. I emphasized alternate criteria, and therefore consequences, over intelligence. if the consequences of your failure are severe enough, of course you should give a shit about them. the message here is that the consequences for
stupidity in particular are imagined and overblown, which creates a false impression of what the stakes are. consequences for
other things, like removal of your work license or loss of college funding or going to jail, are still absolutely worth giving a shit about.
really not sure what the point of you replying here was if you weren't even going to read the post or bother to get my attitude and motivations right. I'm not going to presume your motives, but you don't strike me as being sincere or forthright.
