Normies like using his example to disrprove blackpill.
However, there's another problem with this example. People are ignoring the larger picture. Taking a man without legs and arms and saying,
He became successful because he was charismatic and confident, qualities you must be born with, not learn. His disability IS a reason why he became successful. Thanks to his natural confidence, he was able to talk about his disorder, and people were impressed by him.
If he were a healthy man, he would probably never have achieved this level of success because his main selling point would vanish. He would be just another motivational speaker like many of them. Ironically, his disability is the reason for his success.
Most people with a similar situation become apathetic or simply aren't motivated enough to try. And this is not their choice; they simply have an innate predisposition to be like that.
Another example that people use is Peter Dinklage, who played dwarf Tyrion Lannister in the very popular show Game of Thrones.
He became a very famous actor despite being a literal dwarf. But why? Was it solely because he was such a remarkable actor? No, it's because Game of Thrones creators needed a dwarf actor, so they chose him. And since GoT is a famous series, playing an important character made him popular.
If he were a guy with average height, would he have become equally popular? Probably not, because he would be one of many actors. His height is his main selling point.
Many dwarf people are also ugly, so being handsome gave him a chance to be chosen for this role.

First of all, this is known as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias, where people tend to consider only successful attempts and ignore (consciously or subconsciously) failed ones. Isn't it interesting that he is one of the few people without arms and legs who achieved success? If anyone can do it, then why don't they? Is it because they are lazy or unlucky?
However, there's another problem with this example. People are ignoring the larger picture. Taking a man without legs and arms and saying,
overlooks many important factors. What was his childhood like? How did his parents treat him? Was he born with a proper mindset? Does he have a tendency to become depressed? What are his predispositions?
