The radical moral implications of luck in human life

Don’t you mean “block cheese product”
I find the fact they call it "American cheese" hilarious. It's a subtle insult to American's being representative of fake processed product, but the majority of us don't get subtle and so don't even realize it, and a substantial minority are right proud that we've got our own 'murican cheese, damn it!

No those 5 lb bricks they used to give out back in the day at the free cheese giveaway... I'm pretty sure that was real cheese. American cheese. Different from that stuff Kraft puts in those wrappers.
As we used to say.... "What's the best cheese? Free cheese"!

Commodity cheese! The truth behind that is even better, it was (is?) the best cheese U.S. socialism could provide. Government subsidies to farmers to produce milk that wasn't required by the market made that cheese!

They had honey and rice too!
Ah the good ole days.
 
Hi, Viper,,
Thank you for your hope.
But sorry to hear you do not believe in what you call "our story", what we are living as everyday day survival drama, but determined to bring it to the victory.
Just to answer your question .
What brings you to " don't believe?"

BECAUSE,

I can't understand your irony. However, while I love humor and wit, out story is not the case. Too much suffering and hardship. If you can not support, just respect, it is for the rights of all individual traders. We are one, there are no aliens among us - it does not matter where you are coming from, your background, education, colour, wealth, it just about you, the one who received this call to master trading and scarifying yourself and will breakthrough, Thank you.
 
I fully support the idea that luck has a lot to do with the outcomes in your life but my conclusions from this idea are very different then the implications of the article.

If you need luck to succeed then you must try as many times as you can...keep spining the wheel of fortune until it hits your name. Sure, you can spend your entire life trying and not get anywhere, but life, nature, and existence is not fair nor does it need to be. Other then basic rights and freedom's, nobody owes you anything in this life.

To me the conclusion of the author's view point is that the lucky ones owe something to the less fortunate and that they need to feel some sort of guilt for their success because it was just because of luck and not because of hard work.

Look, I went to a pretty left leaning university. I used to think like the author before. Luckily, I changed my world view over the last 5 years. I am so "lucky" that I did. I wish I didnt spend my early 20's thinking the way I used to.
It can be quite a circular argument. You said those immigrants were able to pull up from their own bootstraps, not because of luck but because of hard work.

Yet it is luck: They were lucky that they find their way to Canada instead of stuck in their own country, lucky that they were at the right place at the right time for the opportunities offered them. For every immigrant that made it, there is probably one that continues to live in subsistence living, at the bottom of the economic scale, not because they don't want to work hard, but because they were not lucky enough to get the chance.

For my own case, I am just lucky as hell that I started trading full time right after the great recession. I was lucky that in this raging bull market I can simply rely on beta, instead of alpha (skills), to outperform.
 
I prefer to buy block cheese, make america grate again!

You should buy these buddy! You're a nut job.

So when the farmland turns to sh!t, and there's another famine with more starving kids dying in their mothers arms, you're gonna say it's all about luck?

Wealthy educated Americans don't tend to wreck what they have buddy, although the lefties are trying their damned hardest. Get real!

Project much?

I'm a wealthy educated American. I'm not so arrogant to think that I got that way entirely because of my hard work or that a kid born to an addict mom in rural West Virginia with below average intelligence could accomplish even a fraction if what I have no matter how hard they worked. What's your experience with that been?

It is just what the FDA defines as cheese. It is all in the regulations. I'm sorry, but Kraft singles are, in fact, cheese. That some regulatory body has a defined limit on what can be called "cheese" on the labeling does not make it "not cheese."

If the shit melts on my burger when I grill it, it's cheese. Hehhe!
