All of life is luck. People who think effort matters are lazy and have had others enabling them throughout through luck of birth.

Agreed, its all basically just luck. But the priviledged lucky ones don't realize it.

Mostly just luck and being surrounded by the right people (which is also luck), yes.
I can point to the exact events and situations that really cratered my life.
1: coming into contact with one particular bully
2: the only available friends I had as a child being people who didn't particularly treat me well when all was said and done
3: not having any brothers, and having a largely unavailable father
4: having an overly protective and delusional mother
5: many of my teachers being vindictive uncaring assholes, who made me disengage from work
6: simply not having any opportunities to meet women for large stretches of my life
7: probable agoraphobia that went undiagnosed because people just thought I was lazy

How could I have fixed any of that with "effort"?

Shit just isn't that binary. It's luck and effort.

If you grind, then when you get a lucky break you have the mindset to seize the opportunity, and the skills to make it work. If you have shit mindset, and don't put any work in, you will not even recognise opportunities, and you wont have the skills to utilize them either.

Even developing that kind of mindset mostly implies supportive figures in your life who taught you to think that way, or enough early wins that it just came easily.

Before y'all say that was luck, I had to work a shit call center job that made me cry in the bathroom at work to do it. Embrace suffering as a tool for change, it's way more bearable when you know you are suffering for something.

That's another black pill people aren't ready to accept. Most the rich or influential people came from backgrounds where their family has the connections to give them their societal power. Go research the history of the most successful people right now and 99% of them came from families that were already rich or got rich through connections.

While luck matters, the people who succeed also wouldn't be there if they didn't put in the effort. You can, at any moment, throw your entire life away and waste your fortune no matter how much money or people you have around you. You can give up and waste your luck of birth whenever you want.

Say, for example, you were born with tall and good looking genes but didn't like to socialize or talk with other people to make use of it. If you never put in the daily effort of getting comfortable being around others, then you'd never have sex.

But let's pretend it is all luck. Are you going to resent other people because you're envious? Are you so disgusted by inequality that you'd harm others to bring them down to your level?

Effort matters for some things but not others. There are many things that can be achieved only through effort (for example, physical strength by adhering to an exercise routine with a reasonable diet), but many more things that can only be achieved through luck.
Just because you are focused on the parts that need luck doesn't mean that the parts that need effort don't exist.

True. I've faced extremely strenuous circumstances growing up and as a young adult, and despite it all I've persevered simply due to certain dispositions of which I've had no control over (I am autistic and from a young age I sought to understand everything via philosophical frameworks, which culminated in a passion for philosophy that ultimately made me adjust my life in the most optimal way, allowing for healing to take place over time; if I was a normie, I likely wouldn't have arrived at where I am today without significant help, help that I wasn't sufficiently provided, meaning if I wasn't as resilient and internally fixated as I am, I wouldn't have made it). I was also lucky to be in a financially well off family that permitted me to study philosophy for my bachelors, instead of something I'd hate with all of my being.

Sometimes, sure, because lucky genes do matter. Mentalcels exist and will ruin it by saying the wrong thing or avoiding the woman and sabatoging their chances. Those people can't be approached by women if women don't even find out about them, for example. They can refuse to try and never actually find a woman. They could fatten themselves up and never groom and look like shit, even with good genes.

Well, it's not just cash, and you know it. Would you tear a white child from his mother to give to a black mother, for example? Would you, upon seeing a happy couple, attempt to ruin their relationship by tearing them apart so that they aren't "above you" anymore? Orphan programs were never what I was talking about since the taking from the rich benefits the poor in that example. Would you, drug a chad off the streets, and inject hrt into his bloodstream for 6 months because you don't like how he didn't "earn" being stronger than you since earning conceptually doesn't exist in your mind?

The world is not a fair place, especially when you think it's all just luck and people have no agency. But would you go out of your way to ruin other people's lives just because yours sucks?

They're not lazy, they're stupid. Effort alone is foolishness, but effort with an additional factor like nepotism can lead to positive results. People who put a lot of effort into their Walmart job will likely be taken advantage of and suffer, but people who put a lot of effort into working at their uncles lumber yard might just end up the owner of the yard someday. It's all about who you know and that influences whether effort will matter or not.

You mean in the leaf? What are you talking about? Of course, tobbaco has genetics.

If you mean that some people genetically deal better with tobacco than others, you can still sidestep the whole issue by putting in effort to not get addicted to it in the first place. You could have otherwise great genes and then throw it away by picking up chewing tobacco and not being able to stop.

You could know it's bad for you and not take any steps to take yourself off of it because they're hard.

While your sentiment is cute, if we brought everyone down to the weakest human and made everyone as uniform as possible, we'd perish as a species despite the newfound collective solidarity.

You're almost as bad as those people who think everything in life is earned, and those who don't succeed or do not prove themselves "worthy" need to be culled and not supported because "how dare you exist without earning it".

There is a balance here that must be struck between Saturn(yourself in this instance, and all the "losers") and the Sun(the kings and rulers and leaders of society).
