You got flagged bc you’re a jerk about it. For what it’s worth. If you come to disagree and have a civil discussion that’s typically fine. But your posts are condescending and needlessly inflammatory.
I don't think so. There are a lot of people in these kind of threads that always try to redefine words to fit their world view (which is more often than not the just world hypothesis in a nutshell). It's typical of the american/wantrepreneur mentality and bias. Downvotes are performative and it's useless to go against the current in this case.
Dude, I’m on the edges. You know that uncomfortable place where no one likes to go. Just because you don’t like what I’m saying doesn’t mean I’m being a jerk about it. And if you can point out anything specific in a comment that was flagged, I would appreciate it.
This aversion to the effect of luck is just making me realize how deluded many people are in the tech industry. And how they fell under the spell of lucky people who are successful, telling you it’s not about luck.
Fair play. I was working off the links and context from this thread and did not think to look at anyone's twitter bio.
Anyways, the argument you seem to be making (I may have it wrong) is that you can dismiss Cate's article on agency because she also admits to be lucky. That may explain why successful people, both in and out of tech, are hesitant to acknowledge the role of luck.
