A comment on Lost Diamonds: How our current system is failing underprivileged talent. Parent comment
If you're one of the Rich Kids of Instagram, hard work doesn't seem to play much of a role in their lives.
The point about Foxconn is obvious. How many Foxconn employees have a realistic chance of topping the rich list?
Hard work, like the idea of being a self-made person, is largely a self-serving mythology.
Real hard work is doing the same shitty job for 10-12 hours a day six or seven days a week and earning barely enough to pay the rent.
That's the reality of hard work for much of the population. Fetishising the hard work of the already-rich discounts that ground truth.
