Other contributing factors that make people unwilling to accept that luck was a factor in their success, are some personal traits. Some of them are psychopathy or narcissism, which are commonly found in high-ranking places. It's a losing battle trying to convince narcissistic psychopaths that they aren't the architects of all of their success. They have the urge to control everything, even the cause-efect factors that are above our control (call it good luck or bad luck). They need that sense of control so bad, that when a piece of evidence suggest the opposite, their first tendency is to control how they feel about it, creating the illusion of control, which is better than no control at all (we have an example here 11:56). This is commonly observable in religious or new age spiritual groups as well, when they have a complete distorted vision of how things work, and promote therapies that we could easily classify as "Narcissistic pseudo-spiritual self-help", with which they not only try to convince their followers that they are in control of their lives, but that they can alter and control reality at will. Am I wrong if I say that this also applies to the gender discussions that we are seeing today?
Excuse me I must quote Dr.George Ainsley; - "The scarce resource of life........". 😂😂😂Fox news...hilarious as usual! I lecture in emotional dysfunction commonly known as mental health, Thank you LSE for this superb speech by Prof. Robert H Frank.
What happens to Ferrari? What about its employees? What about the dealerships? The employees of those dealerships? How many people are you willing to put out of a job in order to have well maintained roads?
The people you accuse of acting selfishly when they purchase luxury homes or lavish weddings. The purchases those people make pay the salaries of the people who build the luxury homes and plan the lavish weddings. The money rich people spend put the carpenters kid through college, and helped the wedding planner purchase a home. All that wealth you oppose really does trickle down.
If I am to accept that should I become a successful author I would be indebted to my highschool english teacher then you would have to accept that should I not become a successful author then I am due a refund from the school system.

Interesting ideas in this. I’m such a fan of Robert H. Fran. Just listened to a full interview with him on The Art of Charm podcast.
Excellent. Needs more views.
The definition of a contingency is something that depends on something else in order to happen.
CAUSALITY!
Loved this. So sensible .
@47:18 I completely agree with this policy message.
agreed! Informative lecture
Too bad there was no time for a Q&A, and he got cut off. Fantastic lecture!
Great talk. The audio mixing really needs to be fixed though. The applause is absolutely deafening.
This is sooo true

If anyone uses the word "obviously" when speaking to you, they are manipulating you.
"Just" and "injust" are subjective terms.
1:12:19 His name is not his luck. His luck was he his skin color.
Causality:
The crapy speakers you used had an impact on how people perceive the song.

Being born to a particular set of parents has nothing to do with luck. It all comes down to CAUSALITY.
Only a cognatively challenged person would believe in luck. Your experience was the results of CAUSALITY not luck.
Every effect has a cause.
