Every time there's a post giving advice on making money or entrepeurship, the majority HN response is "but success is mostly luck" + "you need not want this kind of success". But when there's a post on, say, how to win at poker, people don't feel this need to bring up these points, even though they still apply at least as much. Somehow we're unable to accept the concept of picking a game and playing it when the game is getting rich or making an impact. I suppose it's because this game is so culture dominating that it affects those who don't play it too, as it makes everyone feel like they're supposed to be playing it, and resisting requires extra effort.

I guess this is fine and inevitable. But it makes me wonder where to go to find focused quality discourse about entrepreneurship / getting rich if not HN.
