A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Because it selects for psychopathy and not (or not just) intelligence

Because smart people are typically less likely to be an asshole who take advantage of their piers

Most billionaires inherited their money, solved

Of course LinkedIn slop misinterprets the data to basically say, "You, too, can become a billionaire even if you had mediocre grades!"

That hellscape of a platform is so full of self aggrandizement and accountability dodging.

Edit: Also, this guy has no concept of education and seemingly a feeble grasp of success markers. His articles seem extremely biased by his own upbringing and social mores.

As a selfmade billionaire I can tell you it's all about your grind mind. I started my company in the kitchen and continued in the garage. When my mom initially said I can't have 10 million in starting capital I asked her again and she said ok. Grind mind. Then she told me not to take the lambo but guess what? I took it anyway. Grind mind.

Because GPA is a poor predictor of success at either university or business

Business, yes. University, less so.
