This is why "experience matters" is so grossly overrated. All the knowledge in the world from lived experience is useless if the individual is too arrogant or set in their ways to actually learn from it. The LEPF crowd is textbook definition of this. In their case, experience is more a disadvantage. They're so wrapped up in the events of the past that they refuse to adjust to and accept their current realities.
The sad irony of all the "suck it up, buttercup", " facts don't care about your feelings" and "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". They love to shout it but they never seem to apply it to themselves. Personal responsibility and ownership for thee, but not for me
