I admit that there are exceptions, although I have never met them. But theoretically, I would have to concede the point as being true a priori.
If internet encounters qualify as meetings to you....then you've met one in me.
I was once a person with dreams, hopes, ambitions, etc....just like everyone else.
Perhaps one with even more dreams, hopes, etc....than many other people.
But the brain I was given robbed me of all these things. Since most, if not all, of these dreams, etc....depend upon a good memory and many other cognitive qualities I don't seem to possess, it's easy enough to see how my brain and nothing else could have robbed me of them.
Now perhaps we're supposed to make lemonade if life gives us lemons.
But this becomes problematic if one utterly hates lemonade.
