This guy openly admits that he isn't expending any force of will. He's sitting at home all day reading twitter while refusing to work jobs that he thinks might lower his social status.

If you refuse to try a strategy for 2 years, that's not evidence the strategy won't work.

I'm not sure what "strategy" you're referring to. If the strategy is to "never settle and by force of will reshape the world around them to conform to their expectations", then it sounds like he's been trying that strategy. Hundreds of applications, multiple all-day interviews. That actually does seem like he's trying, or at least he's tried in the past.

What he should be trying is a new strategy, not pouring more force of will into this one.

I think I misunderstood your comment and was responding to a different point. Sorry.
