You are an idiot, but you are My idiot son..

[[House of Gucci]] is a memorable movie

At the airport, a recently released Aldo finally met his only son Paolo, and immediately embraced him. After he realized Paolo had sold his shares due to cashflow desperation, he was devastated but he embraced his son hard, and consoled him “Paolo, you are an idiot, but you are MY idiot.”

It reminds me of what Biden said about his son on live broadcast debate, watched by millions worldwide

Q: what do we (the rmSelf) remember about the lives of Aldo, Paolo, Rodolfo and Maurizio?

  • We tend to remember Paolo’s life as tragic due to “died in poverty” and also his unsuccessful ambition to launch his own line. In reality, that ambition is not the center of his entire life. We neglected the (hedonimeter) happy years of his life, which constitute most of his lifetime. Duration neglect and PER at play.
  • We tend to remember Maurizio’s life as a tragedy only because he was assassinated, ignore all the good time he had throughout his satisfied and abundant life. This evaluation by the rmSelf is completely illogical. Duration neglect and PER at play.
  • We tend to remember Aldo’s 84Y life as ending on a low note, because he was forced to sell his share (but for a huge amount). His life was the most fulfilling among all Gucci’s. His ending was actually as good as his brother’s. So the evaluation by the rmSelf is groundless.
  • We tend to remember Rodolfo as a lucky man because he was successful and had a natural ending. The ending was key to our rmSelf.
