> The post in effect is about a choice of one's career...

You do a huge disservice to the author. He mentions much more than that, just in that one sentence.

Again:

> Your path, your character, your life, should be the most unlikely, the most unexpected, the least predictable version you can make.

Why, if you're a nice guy, you should become a serial killer!

> I came across a bus driver today that told me he owned a juice bar on the side, and invited me to visit. I thought this was most unexpected.

You must live a sheltered life. Bus drivers were doing serious side hustles before there was even a name for those.

You need to immediately familiarize yourself with the rules for comments on this site at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html especially:

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

And as for your comment:

> you should become a serial killer!

Please not preach violence on this site, whether intended or not.

This is rich. "Assume good faith" and "Please not preach violence" in the same comment, when I was doing nothing of the sort.

No, you or anyone will not receive a good faith exemption when preaching violence as you objectively were via your quoted statement:

> you should become a serial killer!

[zephen]

There are multiple possibilities for why someone might take quotes completely out of context.

The most charitable of those, in terms of evaluation of the capacity of someone to learn to stop doing that, involves bad faith.

Most of the rest involve some sort of cognition or psychological issue.

This comment is the very definition of Irony.

There is never any good faith exemption for violent comments, not here, and not anywhere.
