Serendipitously enough, I'm writing a "manifesto" for something like progress studies & these tweets get at the issue I have w the "psychological" dimensions of that piece. Not a huge S J Gould fan but the quote about Einstein's brain springs to mind...

Achievement studies that psychologize luck end up head-measuring, literally or figuratively. Luck studies that don't veer into woo tend to shed more light on why someone's luck was exceptional. If there's anything to be engineered, luck starts to look a lot like privilege.
