I'd like to nominate myself for nubblies best member, but indirectly.

Most of your personal well-being lies outside of your control. Just imagine a counterfactual world in which you were 10 times richer than you are now but without the Internet.

Technological and scientific advances are more important than personal success. Most people in the Western world are now better off than the richest person was a hundred years ago. They would have given you all their wealth in return for Wikipedia, Netflix, and modern medicine.

Dent has done more for sentient beings than anyone here, and I'm getting my fucking statue.
