Hardly. There have been over five thousand Olympic gold medals won, which is a hell of a lot more than the numbers we’re talking about with unicorns. When you realistically whittle unicorns down to those started by very young people and built rapidly from essentially nothing it’s even more stark.
Even putting aside the degree to which a gold medal relies on recognition of both measuresble inborn talent and acquired expertise, it’s not very similar. We’re not talking about success being difficult to achieve, so much as a certain scale and type of success being impossible to predict, possessing exceedingly low odds, and being largely random within the pool of “people trying.” If we”re being honest that describes lotteries and this story, and not Olympic gold.
