With all due respect, this is so much hogwash. I have Sulloway's book; I've
read part of it, but didn't finish it. I am a first-born. My wife is a
first-born. In each of our families, we were the rebels, the ones who resisted
the established order; it was our younger siblings who succeeded academically
and moved into positions of authority in society. "Success," as the world
measures success, has been a long time coming for us...but we have accumulated
lots of scars in the struggle against the Oligarchy and its minions.
