Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

Ya i've thought about success in this kind of context too. Michael Schumacher is/was also similar.
Raw talent, was in the right place to develop that talent at the right age (nashville and europe), physical attributes (she's cute as a button. and he's light and fit enough to be competitive in carts), parents' support (and often, their wealth), mental fitness etc.
When someone has all these attributes it's stacking multiple compounding boosts and they become absurdly successful.
Textbook case of privilege - good fortune is not a bad thing, but it truly can give that extra boost. Unless you're super talented, and super hardworking and fits the job you want e.g. Oprah. Or else can cincai do stuff and still be successful... Like uh... 🦆 scarves hahahaha
True, that is indeed a privilege. But what is this "🦆 scarves" thing?
