I'm not arguing that no one bears the moral responsibility for their actions or that there are no laws to determine who's a criminal.
> Sure, I don't believe in free will either,
I didn't make any statements about determinism.
> Of course we're lucky to live in the richest society ever created in history which gives us opportunities our ancestors didn't have. You can thank capitalism for that.
> Sure, I'm thankful that my family could afford a computer when I was a kid but nobody really encouraged me to follow this route or gave me any money.
It's been pretty much the same for me.
I think the main point I'm trying to convey is; hard work is not enough. Many people work hard all their live and don't get anything other than a body broken by destitution.
Hard work is not the point of the "self-made" millionaire; luck is.
