It was an observation of how every thread like this plays out not a “popular meta post”. I wouldn’t go as far as to say delusional I was more going for it’s naive to assign success purely to genius in the same way it’s naive to attribute a single cause or solution to climate change. In fact I think even that’s generous given that’s a future prediction that was not a guess or a gamble. Perhaps a better example would be for me to write a post about a massive successful stock trade or crypto where A) I had the cash to do it and B) things I gambled might happen went even better than I thought. There would be people assigning all the success to me when likely there were other similar plays I made that I lost big on as well as plenty of other people who saw it but simply didn’t have the means or timing to make it happen. So yes I think it’s naive to assign this and most to purely genius. You need a little luck and cash in reality on the way.
