Orwell's revision In "modern English of the worst sort":

Objective consideration of contemporary phenomena compels the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency
to be commensurate with Innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.

Orwell's revision of the sentence could be stated as:

"When objectively analyzing current events, it becomes clear that one's inherent ability does not consistently correspond to their success or failure in competitive endeavors. Unpredictable factors inevitably play a significant role."
