| When ambitious competitors who can't accept loss or normalcy enter into a field that's saturated with skilled rule-abiding players, they'll cheat. Hypercompetitive fields will always surface cheaters given enough time. Then regulations pile on to fight the cheating, which makes it harder for honest people to do the good work. We do not punish cheaters like these as much as we should. |

| You know, after all this time Lucas Duplan doesn't seem so bad. His hubristic sin was posing for a photo burning fake hundred dollar bills. That just seems like a random Tuesday now. |

| "that gets you on", ie. the kind of personality that literally pays & hustles to be featured on such a list to fuel their own ego? colour me surprised people still seem to think that forbes scouts the world for the best talents instead of the lists being basically a paid ad |

| Not sure it's exclusively a U30 thing. When it comes to grift and fraud, a well known 79 year old comes to mind. |

| ▲ | pdpi an hour ago | parent [-] | | I'd focus less on the U30 part, and more on the 30U, if that makes sense — the problem is with people who seek that sort of attention (and that 79 year old certainly qualifies as wanting that sort of attention). For those people, their businesses are a means to an end in the most cynical way possible. |
