> The most successful people are not the most talented, just the luckiest, a new computer model of wealth creation confirms
This is the least credible genre of "study says" article. You can't make claims about the real world based on some of researcher's guesswork simulation of society.
- grandmczeb 4y agoWonder what the title would have been if the simulation spit out the opposite result - “Not so lucky after all? Science confirms poverty caused by lack of intelligence, talent.”
- jgoodknight 4y agoThe problem with studies like this and why they lack credibility is there probably wouldn’t have been a headline if the model didn’t spit out the result that wealth is created primarily by luck. They either wouldn’t have published the result, or they would have come up with a new model.
- grandmczeb 4y agoOh definitely - the joke is that a headline like that wouldn’t exist in real life for exactly the reasons you mention.
