i think it makes sense. I would rather have a good life and be succussful then always holding back and wondering what could have been.
It's not the gogetter attitude I have a problem with, it's the whole denial of other people, (see also, solipism; see also, "what if everyone was a robot and only I exist")
You can't really have a world without others. It's been debated whether you can really have a self without others. Just because something can be logically asserted doesn't mean there's any spiritual value to such a view. What if he's just a brain in a vat, such a belief won't help him get very far in life at all, and it will actually destroy his motivation to do so. Solipism does the same thing for interacting with others.

I'm sure he's just in a phase and will get slapped in the face by the world at some point when he lifts his head from the drudgery of high school, but that doesn't mean I need to support his delusions. What's your excuse NEH? Still a teenager?
