Being "an asset"

It gives you that impression that... if you don't know what you're really reading about, you feel like the piece someone has written is brilliant and deserves some high class prizes. It's a mental fck up.

Reading about engineering for the first time I felt the same as reading about this management piece now.

To someone experienced in management he might be just talking nonsense. And being a writer, he knows how to put anything into pretty words.

The career of the Loser is the easiest to understand. Having made a bad bargain, and not marked for either Clueless or Sociopath trajectories, he or she must make the best of a bad situation. The most rational thing to do is slack off and do the minimum necessary. Doing more would be a Clueless thing to do. Doing less would take the high-energy machinations of the Sociopath, since it sets up self-imposed up-or-out time pressure. So the Loser — really not a loser at all if you think about it — pays his dues, does not ask for much, and finds meaning in his life elsewhere.

He goes to blackhatworld. In turn a sociopath is a loser who got stuck in management and stalled his growth.

You are pretty smart for 8 classes
But the sociopath is a loser that learned how to bullshit and nothing more, which is a pretty fun existance if you ask me
Not as fun as doing your own thing and becoming successful, but more fun than the others
