> whether you are born with a high IQ is purely random, and even worse IQ is heritable
This sounds contradictory to me.
Moreover, how does IQ differ in this respect from "capacity and willingness to do hard work"?

Also assuming that "capacity and willingness to do hard work" is a personality trait, that is also largely random. So no matter which way you slice it, you gotta get lucky on either the intelligence or industriousness axes (or both) to be successful.
Yes exactly my point! At some level, success can only possibly be seen as a product of chance.
The essense of materialistic nihilism.
