> Or Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, etc. These people are all geniuses as evidenced by their very early, unambiguous competence in highly advanced, technical fields.
You really don't think Zuckerberg was simply someone who got lucky by building the right thing at the right time and tripping onto gold? Even if you want to credit him as a business or product genius, and not merely of luck, he certainly wasn't highly competent in some bleeding edge section of tech.
I think a lot of us have the same problem you are describing, but you're thinking is warped in many ways, so you seem to be experiencing it to a greater degree.
> I remember the OpenAI application question: "Please provide an example or evidence of your exceptional ability."
I don't apply to jobs that ask that kind of question. Absolute douchebaggery.
