I’d title it...How to Justify and Frame Your Success as Meritocracy In Light of People Much Smarter than you Not Succeeding Because They Lack Your Connections


or "Why it's your own fault you aren't successful despite your abilities and skills."


That’s just it’s...IMO it’s saying if you are smart and not successful you have no ability or skills.

Which we all know isn’t true. The lack of social mobility in the US has nothing to do with lack of ability or skills. Power and wealth are to concentrated and “success” is more dependent on access to those than being smart, having abilities or skills.
