It's funny how Eminem the boundary transgressor turned into a milquetoast good boy eager to support any direction political winds are blowing. Went from punk rock to a stuffy 1950's corporate trope.

If the options were ours to take, everyone would choose success and as a result failures would become more desirable. Fortunately it's not. He on the other hand makes it sound like it is, which is probably true for him in most cases because, well he's got money and influence etc, but not so accurate for us common folk and believing in such statements may more often than not result in disappointment. On the other hand if the gentleman said, success is my desirable option, failure is not. That would be a much better statement.

It took some effort but I think i was able to successfully shit on another one of these misdirecting motivational quotes.

Failure is how you learn. I welcome failure, it breeds wisdom.

Yeah because he wrote and released this song when he was on the streets, no record deals, no prior releases and collaborations etc. Even if I remove the common folk part, my position still stands. And kudos on the name calling. Great show of character!

Since about 2010 he has walked on egg-shells. Behaves like a man with so many skeletons in the closet he lives in daily fear that if he doesn't mouth support for power structures all those skeletons will be used to strip him to poverty.

I don't think you mean that. We are working from a different set of information and observations. If we were working from that same set opinions would collapse in agreement.

The human brain takes information and has a photoshop snap-to-grid like feature. We pair information received with the closest information we've already seen, and generally sketch in ideas about anything missing between those points. It's that missing fill-in-the-blank part that causes comedy sitcom experiences.

You've identified what it feels like when there exists a gap in relevant information. A new information can feel like it doesn't fit world view. This sort of cleavage gets us to the common experience of society experiencing 'two movies playing on the same screen', where some look at information and see a completely different story than others do. Usually because they see that information from different perspectives.

This is the 'why' behind your university recommending teaching best practices of start a class with familiar from the prior class, then build on the new information. This primes which piece of prior information to attach the new information to. And explains a tool that can be applied more broadly in other areas as well.
