I know you don’t *think* you are, but every person I’ve encountered who tells a story like yours and frames it as “merit and work got me mine” undersells their privilege by a lot and generally fails pretty badly to understand the circumstances of others in declaring themselves smarter.
I have learned nothing from this diary, because his experience is so thoroughly impossible to replicate.
