It's interesting how the American narrative changed from "hard work will make you succeed" to "only privilege will make you succeed".

I think the newer iteration is just setting the country for failure and is an excuse why being lazy is okay



How is (the assumption one needs) trying multiple times "lazier" than once?


The underlying subtext if I read it correctly is I had a lot of chances because I was lucky to be born into a specific background

when you start subscribing to determinism (i was ordained by my parents to succeed), the logical next step is not to try hard
