>>82098135Hmm. Lemme think how I should construct my answer.
You know they say "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"?
Let's rephrase that to "Never attribute to luck that which is adequately explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system."
Success in the industry is a merit ipso facto, and you can't just say every even moderately successful chuuba is a result of blind luck. Attributing to Mint a behavior model that's just accepting everything that gets thrown at her by her long time friends would be robbing her of her right to wield agency, the same as calling her career blind luck.
I mean, at this point it's a bit of a semantics sophistry, a definitions game if you will, but I prefer to think of it like this: if you're successful then there was something you did right. Nature (in this case Mint's apparently stellar personality and friendship skills) vs. nurture (her hard work) side, the intent part is largely at where you are able to not punt away opportunities coming your way. I think hyper-aware and hyper-competent individuals like GEEGA are the literal 1%.
