This is obvious nonsense. Limitations are real, and I think it's better to be honest about them.

Damn, the courage it must've taken to scold a child on a internet website -- how did you summon it? Do you have a patreon I can donate to
Fair point. It would have been better for me to keep silent and just let the thought pass.
Now that's real courage. Sincere salute to owning your shit!
I agree but there is a self fulfilling aspect to thinking that way.

It is better to believe anything is possible and be wrong than to impose limitations on ourselves.

Most great accomplishments seem impossible at first.
