"You can expect your future luck to be no better or no worse than someone else's future luck." Mason Malmuth We have no excuses it would seem.

In the game of life, our lifetime is only a small sample size compared to the lifetime of the universe. So therefore even if our luck will even out over the long-run, we humans only life in the 'short-term'. So the culmination of all events leading to our birth will determine our 'short-term' (lifetime) luck. Donald Trump is lucky. European cow is reasonably lucky. Average African male = not so lucky.

[/ QUOTE ] That's not luck. That's our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and other past generations actually building something during their lifetimes. Humans have lived in Africa longer than anywhere else. Yet, they remain poor because their cultures haven't accomplished much of anything relative to the rest of the world. North America was "discovered" by European explorers just over 500 years ago. In a relatively short period of time, those people built the most powerful society in the world.

Re: \"Everything in life is luck\"
In the game of life can the term getting lucky mean finding the right man/women/cow to spend our days with?
Luck=Happiness to me And I think poor people, even the starving ones can "have" more than we realize. Or we "have" less than we want to admit. So I still think Mason is right.
