Are you just assuming I didn’t read it because you disagree? I read it hoping that since it was posted on Lemmy maybe it wasn’t the same numbing dribble that the wealthy abuse to defend their privilege, but it was exactly that. This lady’s book is probably displayed proudly in many a wood-trimmed home office.
Why in the world would you have zero doubts about something being random and chalk it up to hidden effort? The universe is dominated by chaotic forces. What an inflated self view to assume that much of anything isn’t prone to randomness.

My bad, was giving you the benefit of the doubt.

The same reason I know not to touch the stove even if I just turned it off, because it takes a while to cool down even tho it doesn’t look hot.
That’s a good example because most children need taught that, and I know I just whiffed, but you know not to touch a stove right after turning it off, right?
If you never learned that lesson, as an adult you may think someone who has never burned themselves on a stove are just incredibly “lucky”. (The issue here is you think that means it’s random chance, be cause you don’t know what luck actually means).
It’s hard for you to comprehend that someone is using context clues,logic, and general planning to know before they touch it whether it’s hot or not.
Like, that’s exactly what you’re doing right here:

You can’t understand it, and I didn’t take the time to explain it. Even after attempting to explain, you still may just write it off as “bullshit” but if this was real life and you saw I experienced consistently improbable positive results, you would fall back on it being “chance”.
It’s literally a coping mechanism older than humans, the only problem is most people don’t learn about it. Or for people who legitimately read the entire article, just aren’t capable of grasping what’s happening.
