@henryfudgeofficial: The recipe for success is mostly survival bias and the luck-skill paradox, and the people selling it sincerely believe it, which is what makes it work. The honest version, including the wins that just fell into my lap. In short, you probably won’t be more successful if you cold plunge your dog every morning at 5am, or buy some weird supplements for your brain. Just be competent and roll the dice a few times. Watch the hands not the mouth with these podcasters, they sell you a simple story often to sell you what they define as necessary, namely listening to them. #successstories #meritocracy #psychologyofmoney #economics #hustle

Arnold Schwarzenegger nailed it when he said "I always correct people who say I am a self made man, because I'm not. I was helped by hundreds of people, over multiple decades. I simply had the right mix of luck and intelligence to use that help to my advantage".

So, are we still listening to the podcasters or are we all going to touch grass and realize it’s all just a mess of human biases and survivorship bias

You can sum all this up in two old adages: 1) Luck favors the prepared, and 2) If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

If you reset everyone to zero and handed each person £20k, then came back in three years, you’d find the same people wealthy again - and the same people back in poverty.

Hard work and skill are your lottery ticket: you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket, but just because you bought a ticket doesn't mean you will win

in my experience a lot of success is pure luck. you can use intelligence and skill and Charisma and connections to line up the pieces but there's still always an element of luck

Becoming successful on the back of first world infrastructure (university educated colleagues, roads, airports, etc.) and then complaining about being taxed to maintain/improve that societal infrastructure is the ultimate in wealthy “I did it all myself “ narcissism.

luck is always forgotten about. being in the right place at the right time and knowing/meeting the right people makes so much difference

People forget that a large part of life actually is random and there’s no strictly defined route to success.

At my current level of understanding, I believe what I should do is increase my chances of getting lucky. For example, if I stay at home and feel sorry for myself, I reduce those chances. But by going out into the world and meeting new people, I increase my chances.

If it was just hard work most cleaners would be millionaires. If it was just talent many artists and musicians would be rich. It’s mainly money to allow you to fail and that gives you more chances to be lucky.

For those interested in this subject, the book Fooled By Randomness by Nassim Taleb is a good read. Also, many of the concepts presented in this video are explored in the research on cognitive bias done by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman. For an easier to jump in overview of their work, The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis is a great start.
