Totally agree here. The surprising part is his pessimism after he was successful. He had his chance and now he's saying there's nothing left for anyone to do? Seems like maybe he's depressed and needs to start over.

While I don't fully subscribe to the "you have to be a psychologist to indulge in psychodynamic theory", I do tend to agree with you in this instance.

It's unlikely he is generally that myopic, and more plausible that an emotional reaction is occurring.

The subconscious can have a profound effect on decision making.
