  This is actually a really great point. If successful people can delay gratification, how do we explain enshittification generally? Running a good company into the ground while enjoying temporary gains is not delayed gratification, and yet the people that are in charge of such things are successful by other metrics (Ivy League, ceo, etc). It’s the marshmallow writ large which is pretty funny. Looks like we all delay gratification if and only if it actually serves us, otherwise snatch greedily at whatever is in reach
