    Look I gotta say I’m not seeing this. Of all the things that would inspire someone to look inwards, I don’t see “not being a good guest host of a late night comedy show” or “booed at someone else’s standup comedy routine” as being good examples. That’s the kind of shit high schoolers think adults care about.

    I thought the Cybertruck would be his wake up call, but somehow that is the best selling EV pickup in all of North America.

      Most adults care deeply about being embarrassed…some even more so than children. A very common phobia is that of public speaking.

      If we’re looking for business failures, Twitter has cratered in value.

      But again I don’t think it’s possible for people like Leon and Trump to look at failures or accomplishments with anything remotely resembling an objective view. They view things other people would view as failures as being someone else’s fault, or fake, or not as big of a deal as someone’s making it, etc.

      If your entire worldview and personality is predicated on you always being right, and everyone that tells you “no” always being wrong, you cannot reflect on your failures without changing your entire worldview and personality.
