Keynote: Lucky You
summary
Argues that luck is partly learnable using Richard Wiseman’s four components of luck and backs it with income breakdowns (median programmer ≈ $93k; men $87k vs women $79k) then shows spatial evidence with the Chetty Opportunity Maps (7.5% chance to rise from bottom to top overall; moving neighborhoods can add ≈ $206,000 lifetime earnings) and ties persistent inequality to historic housing policy using 1930s HOLC redlining maps, tracing how those practices still shape wealth, homeownership and school funding today.
