I'm totally with you here. But we need to realize very feel people perceive/realize the world under these terms. Most people feel like they are destined for a job their entire lives and that extreme wealth are for the few lucky/extraordinary other ones. Even in an YC forum.

The perception does not matter in as much as it is actually aligned with reality. Which I suspect it actually is if you're not one of the initially rich.

Few can produce ground-breaking ideas or are lucky enough to actually earn a million dollars quickly (as opposed to stealing it).

Also, very few even try. Which I highly suspect has an awful impact on these facts.
