You're promoting the false narrative that if someone does better in life it is just chance and nothing else... If you fail, it's not your fault. If you succeed, it's not really your doing.
The formula for success has more than the single variable of luck in it. Luck plays a part, but so does allot of other variables.
- gnaritas 11y ago> You're promoting the false narrative that if someone does better in life it is just chance and nothing That's a straw-man, I didn't say it's "just" chance and it's called a fallacy, not a narrative, and it's a fact, not false. It's a cognitive bias all humans have to attribute their success to their own efforts, and that's what's false.

- gnaritas 11y agoReality is those biases exist, and chance plays a far greater role in everyone's lives than most like to admit; that's a fact. The just world fallacy is a fact. Survivorship bias is a fact. These are not debatable points, they're truths and they're true regardless of opinions to the contrary.
