So luck and privilege count too.
You can't work hard if you are dead.

Please tell me you're not using privileged in its new sense as code for white - in the real sense of it, that he was actually privileged, I agree with you and that made a huge difference. He would have been in jail or a meth head or committed suicide if he had been born poor. Smart = death when you are poor and unsubmissive.
