I like the process. I do think it reaffirms well understood themes:
1) wealthy family
2) motivated and involved parents
3) very bright kids
That said it’s interesting to see specifics.
- paulpauper 4y agoYeah, that seems to be consistently the winning formula. It's obviously no assurance of creating a superstar, but it certainly boosts the odds, as low as they are.
- epicureanideal 4y agoYeah, in all seriousness I probably could’ve been an exceptional person, but broken home and very low income childhood made a lot of things more challenging. Probably will end up in a pretty good situation in absolute terms but nowhere near what would’ve been possible.
