    As some who's getting close to forty I really hate those 30 under 30 list. They just make me feel like shit about how little I've accomplish. When I see some one write a break out novel or something at 45 that gives me hope that I can still do something note worthy.

      Most of them are born extremely well connected and have personal publishers to manage their brand. I wouldn’t mind it much as you complete your metamorphosis into old person.

          Even with the connections most become fail kids. It’s a subsection of a subsection of a subsection.

    Wow can’t imagine a system where people can’t accomplish their goals and aspirations when they are young and have to when they are older.

    Idk why you guys are reacting to this so negatively. Focusing only on the successes of the young absolutely excludes older people and reinforces the capitalist narrative that you're a failure and your life might as well be forfeit if you don't achieve unrealistic success by an arbitrarily youthful age.

    hate that I'm an adult now so I feel like I'm not good enough because teens have gotten degrees or done other important work while I'm just studying and doing my tasks. I'm not gifted enough, so what's the point? i overcome this idea usually, but ti's annoying.

      I could be wrong, but I think the tweet is trying to say:

      "these '[INSERT SOCIAL METRIC FOR SUCCESS] by 40' types are clearly operating from a distinct advantage, and it's more worthwhile to celebrate those who come from a more disadvantaged position."

      or something to that effect.
