Just as long as you know you have succeeded in spite of it all and do not buy into the "almost failed despite being wildly privileged" idea that gets pushed. (

Just as long as you know you have succeeded in spite of it all and do not buy into the "almost failed despite being wildly privileged" idea that gets pushed. (To be clear: I am wildly privileged to live in a Western country now instead of living almost anywhere else at any other time. I'm also generally happy to be a strong and healthy male. My thoughts are best best explained by the fact that 1. all else being equal I'd prefer to recruit a woman rather than a man to the company I work for because that gives me more "social credit" at work 2. Boys systematically do better on anonymous tests, at least in the western world.)
