Except there's no balancing measure to make the various events equally impactful. There's nothing out there to even out or amortize luck effects. There's no nice pseudo-randomness mechanic to make things "fair" or "fun". The effects are often catastrophically long-term and there's no smoothing out. Why would you think otherwise? Why would you compare life to a human-made game? Life is explicitly not a game, it's not fair, it's not fun, it's not balanced. Being born a human is huge. Being born in the right country is huge. Being born without genetic problems is huge. Being born to decent parents is huge. These account for the vast majority of a given's person experience pool. Once you get to individual decisions, all the most important things have already been determined. If you're sitting at a place where you feel like you can make all the important decisions yourself, you're already way ahead of the game. The other problem is that decisions are not fully free and are very strongly influenced by luck, as well. Things like education, information availability, clarity of mind, and, if you want to go there, fluid intelligence, likely influence the quality of your decisions, and that's also luck. Everyone wants to make all the best decisions, otherwise you're saying that lots of people are deliberately trying to reduce the quality of their lives...
