Main point, regarding the ubersuccessful

Is that actually, their plan is/was piss poor, but they lucked and blagged their way to outsized success that they in no way earned.

Anyone else doing the same would crash and burn, due to chance. The crypto guy is a case in point too, a blagger who crashed and burned - still unclear if he'll be held to account.

There's a tonne of successful people in the middle (and on the ground) who, it can and has been argued, are the real engine of the economy.

Need to encourage the majority to succeed - the world has a surplus delusional musk wannabes
