Not sure how you can look at this data, ostensibly be interested in either meritocracy or equality, and want to move away from standardized tests. It's the subjective measures that are most slanted in favor of the rich kids.https://t.co/r4rNYBnrfK pic.twitter.com/S8w8HQ0yz9

Yes. Rich people are better than poor people. Itβs in their genetics.
Have you ever even seen a poor person? A certain level of poverty is passed on genetically. You can just look at their face and know that they are poor. Doesnβt matter what clothes they wear, the clothes will never quite fit. Doesnβt matter how much they shower, they will still appear dirty
This is why America needs a real caste system

Yup.
Fact A: Income correlated to IQ. If you map people's income percentile vs their intelligence percentile, you get a straight line.
Fact B: Intelligence is heritable. Not perfectly, but IIRC about half.
Result: poverty (and stupidity) are passed down hand-in-hand from parents to children. And there's nothing that can be done about it.

Don't forget laziness. Also, sometimes even intelligent people who aren't lazy spend their energy on things that don't make money. Grothendieck was living in some large forest like uncle Teddy.
But an intelligent person who isn't terminally lazy and who wants to make money can make a lot more money than the average money-obsessed brainlet.

Rich people are fricking worse than poor people, it's in their genetics. They were fricking handpicked by the fricking powers that be to hobble their respective races.
