"But, you know, I can't control what the world does."

I think this is the key difference. A lot of people out there think they can change the world, at least a little bit, by pushing at these boundaries.



I said I could not control what the world does. That doesn't mean I can't change the world. Those are two different concepts.


Sure, but the whole point of your comment seemed to be that she shouldn't do things this way, because she can't control how the world reacts to her. Maybe I misunderstood it.


She can do whatever she wants. I have tried very hard to make it clear I am not saying "She is doing it wrong!" But I have handled things different from her.

I am currently working on a blog post about it. It isn't an easy thing to address. The subtle distinctions I want to make are not very well served by chatty, off the cuff forum comments.

Edit: Blog post finished and posted to HN, fwiw.
