What happens when a second-hander has a will of steel, patience, strategic thinking and gumption?
He will eventually or instantly succeed, even if:
his ideas stink
he has no originality
he fails to find the stream/river/rivulet of who he really is
What happens when an ideal man has the same will of steel, patience, strategic thinking and gumption?
He changes the world
He creates a new planet
(an observation)
- Rochelle Potkar
Second-hander: a person who collects his opinions and sensibilities from others, more or less bypassing his own reason and values.
(Randian) Ideal man: a person whose ability and independence leads to conflicts with others, but who perseveres nevertheless to achieve his values.

The latter is rare, the former more regular.
Maybe the survival of teh fittest has ensured that the second-handers have learnt to persevere, and thus overtake the idealists, who are more lost in their own fragments of idiosyncratic utopias.
or maybe we are both
I am observing a phenomenon
I will be getting back to you on this
