Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Some lead lives of loud desperation.

  That sounds nice but is it true? Like, that’s not an argument, and it’s not obvious! I’m flabbergasted it received so many upvotes.
  Can someone please explain?

    It’s somewhat an applause light being a paraphrase and extension of a Nick Bostrom quote.

      Nick Bostrom? You mean Thoreau?

        didn’t know that, I heard it via Bostrom. Thanks.

  What? What does this explain? What are these people desperate for?
