      if one person in a billion or a thousand or ten can make it big with nothing but their wits, good! it does not follow that underinvestment is not a real problem worth solving, which is precisely the upshot of "what's your excuse?"

      if extraordinary success is even *usually* built on substantial material and social capital—the point of the thread—then maybe we should try to start more people off with more than bootstraps

      this is ideology—we're not talking about categorical claims, we're talking about what tendencies are salient enough to motivate building our social world around them

      What frustrates the likes of @MorlockP & I in these discussions is how oblivious others are to the substantial foundation currently available to everyone today. Society DOES provide "miles ahead" starting point for anyone who wants it, but availability to all means few see it.

      The advantages people demand are right there for the taking, but because it's not delivered on a catered silver platter they think it's not good enough - if they see it at all.

      Cheap car? Get a used Nissan Leaf for $6000 on http://AutoTrader.com , turn it into an ad on wheels via http://Wrapify.com , get paid >$200/month, free in 30 months, power dirt cheap. I could keep going. Opportunity abounds. Quit bitching and get busy.

      they don't want opportunity, they want success. they're looking for more and better ways to start the race at the finish line.

      just as important, they want an excuse for NOT HAVING ALREADY ACHIEVED success. "It's not my fault. It's not because of my lack of hard work. It's not because of my lack of hustle. Saying those things makes me feel bad. Success is impossible...unless it's handed to you"
