    I think about it like this, those things are heavily influenced by your material conditions. Looks can be adjusted with surgery and makeup. Intelligence, skill, dexterity are all part of education and practice which requires time and effort and money that a lot of people don’t have. Health is almost entirely based on your access to healthcare and knowledge about taking care of yourself, which again is something you have to learn and take time to study, which not everybody has. Attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder. That’s probably the least material conditions based.

    Luck doesn’t exist like a measurable, scientific thing. But if you consider luck your ability to get a job quickly when you lose yours, or your ability to pay off problems that happen in your life, or just always having a backup plan that comes through for you. Then yes, luck is entirely based on your material conditions.
