Bad specific examples. The world is unfair and poor, and not everything is actually possible for everyone, even though a lot more is possible than people may expect. People shouldn’t need to deceive themselves about the extent of what’s possible, to do what is possible. So agree in spirit, but not literally. Otherwise, a great post.

Upvoted for this. In fact, someone should right a post about this, to stamp out some of the almost naive optimism found elsewhere on the site.

I agree with all this whole-heartedly, so… which sentences of my post suggest otherwise to you?
“And then you play ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’.” Likely won’t happen even then. Likewise, “Want to become economically independent? Don’t feel overwhelmed watching Tim Ferriss at work.”
The examples could be something to be explained by the ideas you discuss in the post, but you identify the reader with them too much (at least connotationally, by the context in which you mention the examples).
The use of those specific examples. What consideration motivates mentioning “Flight of the Bumblebee” or Tim Ferriss? Now that I think about it, these are perhaps things to be explained using the ideas discussed in your post.
Edit: Luke fixed the problem with the post.

The 7th paragraph now makes this clearer. Thanks for your comment.
