Because you dont have the confidence in yourself. You see arrogance as a bad thing because you envy those who don’t think twice like you do. But being envious is worse than being arrogant.

The quote I posted, in my opinion, is a critique of fool-hearty people and their attitudes, directly in opposition to OP's post. In other words, don't relish stupidity. I'd just point to the rise of anti-expertise and fascism going hand in hand over the past 20 years or so around the globe.

The laws of the universe are the laws. We just follow the rules and live out our lives the way we want. If you wish to be successful. The first thing you must do is have the ignorance and the confidence to try something you feel unqualified to do. To attempt something everyone said was impossible. To create something that everyone said couldn’t be created. Success good or evil is the same to the universe. As this reality could be seen as a test of your soul. Our lives are disposable. Easy come easy go. Our pain and suffering is simply part of the human experience. It’s not attached to your soul. It’s when you are judged by the higher power to see if your ignorance and confidence was justified. You speak of anti expertise and fascism as part of the problem. These terms and labels are irrelevant to the true fact that these powers are simply the manifestation of human nature. They are doing what humans do. Positive or negative. If we want to fix it. As society we need to group together to create the reality we want. Sad truth is everyone is very comfortable living an individualistic lifestyle with no regard for changing the world. But if you wanted to have individual success you’d need to believe in yourself and your ideas even if no one agrees.
