I relate, but as a genius and getting decent (but not exceptional) results from no work. At least, in some areas.

It's annoying. It's especially annoying to think about how I could've been Eliezer but probably couldn't now.

And that gives me an idea for tomorrow.

My advice to anybody who says 'I regret not doing X in the past, but it's too late now', is to reconsider very very carefully whether it is actually too late now, or whether you will in the future find yourself saying 'I regret not doing X in the past because I thought it was too late; but now it's really too late'.
