I was thinking of the basic "moving back in with the parents fallback".
Of course different people have different advantages and disadvantages.
Paul Graham's children will probably have an enormous head start in becoming entrepreneurs. They'll have "startup privilege" en masse. But so what? Should we begrudge them having it? Should we compensate children of other parents for the non-privilege of not being Paul Graham's children? And if so, how? What amount of money would be appropriate? Or should we punish his children to take away their unfair advantage?
I just think the whole "privilege" mindset is unhelpful and unproductive.
Try to make the most of what you have. Can only PG's children become successful founders? I think not. Maybe your children will only become millionaires if the become founders, and PG'S children will become billionaires. Cry me a river.
