As someone that was previously bullish on Workers but now fully disillusioned with a barely positive cost basis on it right now I disagree with this - if anything I feel burned for believing and continuing to believe.
Either way, people like me aren’t going to be able to capture even a tenth of the success of joining Google in 2005 or buying a $1m house in Palo Alto ~4 years after graduating (I’m 6.5 years out of graduating) because people like me aren’t as human as the folks that own this house.
Take it easy. These kind of thought won't help you. It's a rough time out there but thing change. Our ancestors survived famines and war. We should be able to manage this.
And yes, life is not fair. But don't waste it, it's finite.
"people like me aren’t as human as the folks that own this house"
What do you mean? People aren't human if they do not have a certain level of wealth?
Seems to imply that you may think people with less wealth aren't valuable or even human. What should people with less wealth than you feel?
My net worth is temporary, theirs and their status is not.
