Really interesting article and made me think of the "success to the successful" archetype in system dynamics (and in societies), in which success breeds more success: https://thesystemsthinker.com/success-to-the-successful-self-fulfilling-prophecies/

I do think US society used to be more fluid; both geographical and socioeconomic mobility seem to be decreasing, and I feel (though can't prove) that reinvention used to be... easier? More socially accepted? Maybe it just costs more now and that stops a lot of people from trying?
