I can't disagree more with this. You don't have to be born with the skills to put in the work and build a product or a business for that matter. You have to decide to do it and put in the work to learn what you need to learn. People do this everyday. Tons of people start businesses without a business degree. Tons of people learn to write code who previously had no idea how. In the US at least, educational materials are everywhere. Public libraries, online resources, free entrepreneurial mentoring groups. Access to education may seem like luck, but it's usually the result of the hard work and decision making of your parents to ensure that you have access to education. Same with quality education. And those decisions likely came from the work of their parents and those before them. When my wife and I bought our first home, we looked at school ratings to influence our decisions. Our kids don't have access to quality education because of luck, they have access to it because we made it a priority for them to have access to it. Inevitably the followup to that is that everybody can't afford to move to a good school district and I 100% agree with that sentiment. It's also why I pushed for school choice programs to be everywhere. For some reason, whenever choice is mentioned, people immediately declare it somehow linked racism but for the life of me I can't follow the narrative. If your child isn't zoned for a good school and you can't afford to move for a better option or pay for a good private school, I can't begin to understand how restricting choice is a good thing because it will remove the economic restrictions that block off quality educational opportunities. That luck is created because of bad policy, of decisions that people make to ignore means to address these issues and lock in the status quo. Which means it's not luck at all, it's simply a side effect of the decisions of a lot of other people. None of it is luck. It's years of compound decisions. And there are a number of people who recognize the opportunities that they were denied in their own life because of the decisions of their parents, who then make a decision to make sure that their children have better opportunities. There are so many parents out there who work themselves to death to provide a better life and world for their kids. That's not luck. That's a decision.
