Veritasium on luck and survivor bias

This is the video, well worth watching, where he candidly explains the story of how he wanted to become a filmmaker, then an engineer, then a tutor. At 7:45 the heartwarming story of meeting his wife, and at 9:14 a very insightful look at the survivor bias. https://youtu.be/S1tFT4smd6E?si=JzTsii5vJaaALri2

And this video looks at inequality in the world and how we should and shouldn't view our success. At 5:00 he starts to get very philosophical about his own success and how he met his wife by chance. And at 9:34 he talks about how luck figured into his own success.
