      While this is most likely rage bait this isn’t far from human self perception.

      There were multiple studies on this with similar setups. Eg they’d have students play monopoly and give one of them significantly more cash to start with. Not secretly either. One would think this student would understand that this is an insane advantage but the study found that most of the participants believed that they won by playing well.

      So even with the most obvious advantage humans will think that it was their own merit that lead to their success.

      No, most nepo babies are really that out of touch with reality. Remember “if you’re homeless just buy a house”.

        This kind of satire is a new way to farm engagement on LinkedIn, it’s not even remotely funny after the 100th post like this, but LinkedIn is the worst of all social media so it’s kinda on brand.
