Ironically, it is unbelievably damaging for individuals to believe that one needs a lot of luck, as this belief feels good, destroys resilience, and prevents one from recognizing and going after the (initially) modest opportunities that do show up.

Sure, you won’t be like Elon Musk, but you could be better than 90% of the population, since most people don’t want to try hard. Much more “fun” to believe that life is unfair, and therefore no action is required on one’s part.

Don't forget the very broken incentives.
