I think it’s the difference between inherited vs evolved differentiation. People can excuse people who were born “different”. “They can jump, they can sing, I cannot.” Being the rationalization. It’s much harder, however, for people to confront someone who was born the same as them but committed to work, development and risk taking and then succeeded. These are non-immutable traits and are available for everyone to express. Those that do and are rewarded, however, tend to alienate the umpteen masses that can’t get out of their own way.

Quoted context

These are the quoted author’s words.

Something I genuinely wonder: why do anti capitalists seem a lot more bothered with the incomes of CEOs than incomes of elite athletes, musicians, actors etc? My guess they can comprehend the uniqueness of the skills of Taylor Swift or LeBron James but they have no idea what makes an elite CEO.
