"future posterity" = I just found a thesaurus.
"graciously accept" = clumsy and doesn't quite mean what you think it means. Perhaps you mean gracefully? Gratefully? Other people may view you as gracious but you cannot declare yourself such.
I am always goddamn sure of myself when I am wrong. I am happy to be wrong because I am one ounce less ignorant. I take it in pride. Go ahead, hang your head down and cry in shame when you are defeated if that what life is to you; mere suffering. I will retain my happiness and continue trying to achieve it to greater heights.
Humility is for suckers who need provisioning from the crowd. I already have the joy I need.
"I take it in pride."
Stride"Go ahead, hang your head down and cry in shame when you are defeated if that what life is to you; mere suffering." This sentence is contorted.
"I will retain my happiness and continue trying to achieve it to greater heights." Ditto.
Provisioning makes no sense in that context.
This is snarky but valid feedback, Atlas. The way you write makes you sound like you're emulating someone who's prone to flowery, absolutist, and grandiose language (and I think we know who that is), but that you don't have enough experience with the way people actually talk to pull it off.
edit: You can point to Stephen Fry's argument about creative use of language all you want, and it has validity, but at some point you're just using it as a crutch for ignorance, not creativity. If someone said "I is good with langwidge" and then trotted out Stephen Fry, claiming it was perfectly clear what they meant, we'd call that person an idiot.
