Opportunities and the family you were born into are so much more important. How many people who are high IQ and could potentially cure cancer are living in poverty or being bombarded to smithereens in the Middle East right now?

No they are high IQ and are able to effectively set themselves up for generational wealth. having low iq and being rich due to your parents just equates to a useless existence on par to a wallmart employee.

being high IQ and having the ability to acquire generational wealth is also luck, nobody is in control of their final outcome

IQ correlates with being born in good/wealthy families, vice versa. :feelstastyman:

i'm sorry but being intelligent is also luck, i dont think you see this due to your poor CPU power. nothing is acquired through hardwork

Thats the point IQ is luck and IQ cannot be raised nor lowered you are either born smart or not. my point is that it is exponentially better to be born fiercely intelligent than born wealthy without intellect.

IQ is hereditary - if someone from your past lineage was able to accumulate wealth beforehand, chances are you will be able to do so likewise. IQ sets up financial/power gain and therefore power/wealth is a good predictor for a moderately high IQ.

read outliers by malcom gladwell if ur interested in this type of thing, gives examples of high iq ppl that turned out to live retard lives just by being poor in the US and vice versa

True, but it's also luck because high IQ isn't completely genetic if you were born into a nice stable household you're far more likely to have a higher IQ than some random guy coming from a single mother household from the projects. And even if they did end up having same IQ, one still clearly has more of an advantage for success

Prevent cancer with CARNIVORE
-Stop alcohol, drugs etc
-Clean yourself properly

Fix poverty by giving 2.5% charity

Solutions are there, but people are too engrossed by their lusts and desires to care about it.
