Confusion surrounding the "hard work is a classist illusion" debate, explained:
-
3/ “You’re not smarter than us, so you’ll have to work at least as hard as us to compete,” and who could/would deny this?
4/ "Gasp!" Tech’s celebrity, pearl-clutching, ambulance chasers accuse successful folks in tech of privilege, declare hard work irrelevant
-
-
5/ (They have to do this, of course, because most of them are failures with speaking fees to justify)
-
There will also always be money in telling people what they want to hear. ("There are no tradeoffs," etc.)
