That's kinda reddit in general, really. The number of confidently incorrect idiots who rock up sitewide in a bid to look intelligent is almost hilarious. 

They're not smart, but believe they are and haven't ascended to the position that their overlooked and underestimated brain power should allow. 

Naturally, of course, it's society/the government/men/women/someone else's fault. And reddit's only too willing to present them with a choir of like-minded idiots who'll blame anyone rather than take responsibility. 

At wsb, we're generally pretty good at owning our mistakes. If you're smart, you're usually fairly good at taking a long-term view. Money comes, money goes. 

If you're an intelligent gambling addict, chances are you're so used to losing that you've faced up to yourself a few times after a spree and admitted you have either a problem or at least an expensive hobby. 

If you're what increasingly seems to be the average redditor, you'll do gold medal-worthy mental gymnastics to avoid admitting that you're to blame. You're not that clever, you did lose that argument, your point is a poor one and almost everything you believe is received wisdom from inside a bubble, as opposed to independently ascertained conclusions. 

You could accept that, take time to learn, read more, think more and be a better, more rounded person in a few years... but that takes work. So why not parrot this opinion that makes you *sound* worthy and clever? 

When those people find themselves here, on one of reddit's most famous subs, it's a recipe for absolute disaster. They may have heard of deepfuckingvalue, but they absolutely have not heard of the 100,000 other regards who blew through probably billions of dollars in a bid to get rich. 

So they buy in, try to persuade others to do the same and forget the "bets" part of this sub's name.
