In our entire species history, it is absolutely true that humans went from thinking, "that can't be done" to "we did that". And for good or bad, yes, I am happy that I don't have to ride a horse and buggy and have internet rather than the Pony Express.
What I object to, are blanket assumptions of individuals, not success. Just because someone does something, and moves up, does not mean anyone who doesn't do the same thing, or doesn't move up is worth less. Life is unfortunately about competition, but it is still a pyramid regardless. For every famous actor, sports star, business leader, politician, ect ect, there are far more many people who AT BEST, get to a point where they can pay their bills and save. Most humans will not be Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady, Jerry Seinfeld, Madonna.
Yes, human CAN do it. But what are we talking about when we argue this? We are merely talking about possibility, not probability or likelihood.
I see far more value, not in those who get on top, but value in everyone who those who get there, who support those who do end up on top.
My point is that the top, no matter the industry or topic, need to accept they are the minority and are where they are because of all the shoulders they stood on who did not get there.
