A dictatorship's paradise

By highlighting singular instances of a sharp rapid success story; people can be shown a mirage-like image which encourages others to follow suit.

If by following the formula it works, then there should be an explosion of successful entrepreneurs in the market. This is untrue otherwise the market distribution would look unlike how it currently is (probably more mid class, less low income class, higher top income bracket).

The reality is that most of the time (>60% I'd approximate), replicating "rags-to-riches" strategies does not produce the same successes as the highlight primarily showcases exception cases. Sometimes a person stumbled onto gold, and by putting a spotlight on that instance you're showcasing only the business ventures that happened to pay off, sometimes it's skill, perhaps a combination of both, other times pure RNG🎲.

Ex: Sharktank, from the start you only see a fraction of the people that can even afford to start ventures show up as a contestant, just how many are able to get an investment, and what are the chances that they'd succeed without an investor, publisher, starting funds, etc?

To me "rags to riches" are a prime example of a combination/parallel of a couple of things:

• Survivorship Bias
• Focus Group
• Misdirection Propaganda
  • by repeatedly showcasing exception cases, the perception of common norms is deliberatly changed ("this is how people usually get rich", "Huh maybe I have a shot at getting rich too, maybe I should spend time to replicate their successes and turn it into my own🤔")

If rags to riches worked, I and many others would be millionaires if not billionaires.

Personally I don't trust the systems that these stories are built on and displayed as. I think the shows are entertaining but only that and nothing more.

no worries and yeah the OG Portal game is def fun🤗

I remember playing it before Valve's version came out and thinking they made a quite a fun and interesting improvement to the original concept/mechanic!

I can see where your thought came from😄

hope it heals quickly!

That sounds pretty good I gotta try that later

Thanks for sharing!~🤗

this is honestly a solid shower thought👍

must've had a great shower✨

I guess your Lemmy client doesn't show you crossposts?

It does although it doesn't show it with your post

Viewing this post on web it shows it as:

It's another fun and interesting episode✨\^_^/

also just wondering what tea are you a fan of?🤗

🎉Fellow Arch users I come bearing great news!🎉

Somehow upon this grand Friday, Valve will collaborate with Arch Linux and provide backing to develop:

a build service infrastructure and a secure signing enclave.

The collaboration will speed-up the progress that would otherwise take much longer for us to achieve, and will ultimately unblock us from finally pursuing some of our planned endeavors.

🥹🥳🎊

As it seems to work for Japan, it might be worth a try or at least some time investment to see if the system is sustainable

the previous call from Saudi Arabia for Israel to de-escalate the war seems to have been a PR stunt now

I'm glad I was able to help you rediscover a flash game🤗

probably a hot take:

mhm

after I posted MoP I rethought about the implied context around the original post and deleted my comment shortly after

One thing I'll want to do next time tho is just edit the comment instead of making a new one😅🤗

This system poses a significantly high potential to be abused.

If you're someone that identifies as a woman who's still working for Elon for some reason, you REALLY might want to consider looking for alternative jobs as a emergency escape option.
