This is interesting. Because one thing is to be an outlier and in the top 1% or 0.1% in skills, let's say programming, and another one is to achieve outlier status economically, sometimes they are disconnected. It comes to mind the idea that Corporate Machiavelli expressed in one of his tweets, that the difference between the middle and upper class is IQ, but the difference between the upper class and the rich is that the latter is more cunning and risk aggressive. Just think about those who bought crypto early on, the truth is that they didn't have a special skill, they just were more risk aggressive. Another example is the guys working several remote programming junior jobs, around 4-5 at the same time, they have average or above-average coding skills but they are making 700k+ a year only because they took the risk and are more cunning than the average programmer. This means that if you're not capable of getting to the top by raw skills alone you can still get there by optimizing those 2 factors in any way possible inside your professional domain or even outside of it. What do you think?
