Seems more like a shitpost. There's lots of randomness documented in scientific fields; when the randomness causes an outcome we like it's called "luck" and when we don't like it it's called "unlucky".

Luck is just luck. Bad luck is luck, good luck is luck. It's all just luck.

Like acceleration and deceleration. Deceleration is just acceleration opposite velocity.
