you're assuming they're not determinists.

people like Steve jobs are the best example of flawed logic. in the face of a completely different set of heuristic and logical information, he assumed he was just as capable, and chose fruit smoothies over more efficacious and proven medication.

they absolutely, like jobs, are playing a game they think they fully understand and absolutely are likely to chose medicine akin to jobs

just watch Elon and everything he's choosing to do.

these people are all normal but society has given the a deadly amount of leverage without any specific training.

Really what we're observing with these people is the survivorship bias of humans with astounding levels of cognitive dissonance — which nearly all humans have. Except they have the rare combination of wealth and luck on their side...until it runs out.
