> Highly correlated" would not be the choice of words I use to describe correlations between (0.23 - 0.5).

lol, this range is 0.5 to 0.7 variance explained (R squared) which is an insane value. in typical social studies a correlation of > 5% is considered a major improvement. In finance a correlation or > 1% is considered amazing.

You are either a hyper-intelectual drinking Taleb's kool-aid or simply don't know what you are talking about :D

How much can you be certain that your Boeing job was not the reason for your high performance, and that you are not just projecting your current self and state on mind onto your past? You are nothing like yoursef 40 year ago, to say something useless your atoms have changed 5 times over, and to say something useful you have definitely rewired your brain in many more ways. Anecdotal stories like yours are valuable, but only to you, that's why people do studies as you are of course very well aware. It could well be that the number one predictor for success is "intelligence" whatever that means, I offer the definition "to be able to absorb new information quickly and retain it and connect it to existing information to form new insights" so maybe Caltech was just a place where all such people went to and the teachers were like that so it felt "smart" and the format of the exam (open book) basically didmt really help but only enabled i.e did not actively stop the flourisment of intelligence in the students? Caltech might be good but there are many good places (Oxford, Cambridge, MIT e.g) so my untested theory could explain all of their successes. And then you went to Boeing and actually did things and that showed you how to be an enginner who made planes and your high intelligence allowed you to absorb that info quicker again and your are just projecting this future expert on a college intelligent but not expert self? Just my 2 cents

not really: if average life is 2 weeks that means you need $100 per year for devices. Somalia gdp per capita is $500 (not taking PPP aince these will likely be imported). So 20% of anual income is quite high

the only inference we can draw is that inequality is a **necessary** consequence of any game of chance.

intervention (weath distribution) can only lead to more inequality.

there is no solution.

all of you on the left: your equality of outcome bs will not help.

all of you on the right: your "you just need to work hard" bs will not not help.

life is hard.

I pretty much think both are dead, or to be more precise: downscaled.

Netflix has been making bad woke movies for too long. If they had good content at least it would be ok, but they don't.

Most people are back in the office and the competition has caught up, so what is Zoom's justification for existence?

People don't seem to graps the cocept that equity prices are fair market values: the current consensus is that netflix is 80% lower than the high peak. At the height, money was free and i flation low. Now, and in the future, money will be very expensive and inflation high, so why would you hold growth stocks that also don't seem to be producing anything valuable (like netflix bad movie quality).

It sounds patronizing to me but I guess everyone projects themselves on others: maybe you find it as illuminating.

I feel completely the same. However I disagree with other ppl saying that 'your job doesn't define you'. You decide what defines you, not what they say. If your job really is your top priority, as it is for some people, and you are not satisfied, try indeed to either pick a new job or start your own company. But don't let others fool you just because you are driven and they are chill: there are passengers for every train: from express to commuter
