Man, you are trying so hard to be angry, when you really don't even understand the words I am writing. A lot of things you are saying do not quite make sense, so I don't know how to address them. I can't help that you take offense to facts and reality. You still have not disputed anything I wrote.
You are simply trying to argue that you are the rare case of someone who is (possibly) exceptional despite the lack of support you received as a child and presenting that to me as some sort of evidence that familial support has no bearing on someone's ability to be exceptional. That's an absurd argument.
We are talking about a subject that has been studied in depth here, not just my personal opinion on a subject. Here is a source which helps explain success factors and links to many different studies on the subject:

I didn't say they were setting them up for failure. I said they were setting them up for an average life. Of course, people can overcome these obstacles. But of course, that is literally the meaning of the word "exceptional." Your argument makes it seem like you don't quite understand the meaning of the word, and that's possibly a reason why you are attacking me for using it.
Mainstream educations are absolutely not overrated. The people you are referring to are average people who did not have the familial support, guidance, and resources that help people better plan their education, obtain opportunities such as internships and summer jobs, and ultimately obtain employment or go on to higher education such as masters degrees and PhDs.
"Zero carbon" is an entirely different argument that has no place here. Won't even get into it. If you believe you are doing good for the world, that's fantastic! Keep it up. Your experiences and achievements in no way conflict with my statements.
I don't need experience with having children to understand science. Again, you are arguing with science. You really don't seem to understand what I am saying. You just seem to want to be really angry.
