I don't understand why you can't see my argument for what it is: People work hard on their own merit. Wealth generation is not a meaningful driver, that's why people choose career with very low income trajectory, have hobbies, etc. Calling people lazy is reductive and pejorative. People aren't inherently lazy.

> I don't understand why you can't see my argument for what it is: People work hard on their own merit. I see. You're saying people either work hard or don't (from within), rather than what their parents or teachers or peers say. Hard to argue with that. At the same time, I am glad my parents instilled in me being a hard worker in whatever I chose because I am pretty confident it has made a huge difference in my success. I would not concede that some people aren’t lazy, however.
