@HoraceGreenley And higher IQ in our culture correlates with higher achievement academically and at work.

@ElwoodBlues
Not really

@HoraceGreenley As usual, you haven't done your research!!

[u]4. Discussion[/u]
All in all, extensive research shows that IQ scores can play a critical role in determining positive life outcomes like success in academic performance from elementary school through college, job performance, and occupational status. These results seem to confirm the validity of IQ tests to measure intellectual abilities which lead towards the types of success that are valued in Western cultures. In other words, IQ assessment may thus become destiny.[/quote]

[quote] [b] Is IQ A Predictor Of Success?[/b]

As the question is stated, the answer is simply "yes".

If you take a "real" IQ test (see comments below), then the result is a strong statistical predictor of multiple future life outcomes - income, education level, health, even longevity. There are hundreds of studies that confirm these correlations. So in that sense, it "predicts" your future "success". [/quote]

And, as stated above, multiple IQ studies have found a statistically significant positive correlation between higher IQ and more liberal political affiliation. [b]https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/millennial-media/201304/do-racism-conservatism-and-low-iq-go-hand-in-hand[/b]

Conservatism, and Low I.Q. Go Hand in Hand? Lower cognitive abilities predict greater prejudice through right-wing ideology. [b]https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100224132655.htm[/b]

Liberals and atheists smarter? Intelligent people have values novel in human evolutionary history, study finds.[b] https://www.upi.com/Higher-IQ-linked-to-liberalism-atheism/68381267513202/[/b]

Young adults who subjectively identify themselves as "very liberal" have an average IQ of 106 during adolescence while those who identify themselves as "very conservative" have an average IQ of 95 during adolescence.

@helenS Taking this into consideration; not all 7-7.5 billion people are poor. So, if all the rich would share, everyone at the least could be well off. No need to work, no economy, the world would go bust. 2 + 2 = 5. And on top of that, the smart will still, eventually end up with the money. 😅 🤣

@maskedbandit Hey but don't you know, money is pure evil! (... orders 3 bottles of expensive Amarone della Valpolicella on amazon.com...)

@helenS 😳 🤣 👍

@graphite Taxed to death? I'm sure he could live on the approximately $50-60 billion he'd have left...

@SW-User He sure could. But he has a way out of paying Democrats' confiscatory tax rates and apparently he's going to take it. Similar to how pro sports teams in California lose athletes to teams in Texas because California charges Big Big State Income Taxes and Texas charges none. Doesn't matter that the players are all millionaires anyway.

@graphite Is that what happens when a billionaire actually pays his taxes like an ordinary person? He literally withers away and dies? 🥺

@deadteddy but they do it with their agenda's instead of working for the greater good. I found out there's no such thing from these punks.

@deadteddy Best they can do is to work together to make us all even more miserable. In fact that's what they generally do 🙈

@SStarfish I think the point is that 20k to him is nothing to him but can make a huge difference in another person's life.

@Renaci He started out life as a regular business analyst working in NYC. During his work analyzing numbers in businesses he noticed a trend and spotted a potential gap in the market for selling books online. He talked to his girlfriend and they decided to take a punt pack their belongings into their car and drive to California where they set up a website selling books and magazines online.
That was in the late 90’s. The rest they say is history.

Theres a doco series called the rise of the tech billionaires. Google it. It gives the story of Bezos, Zuckerberg, Google, Microsoft etc.

@kutee Yes, thousands of people work very hard for his money.

@kutee People work hard for him and he just uses the value and money others produce to feed his capital with in order to multiply his wealth.

@Quetzalcoatlus

Must be that Free American Education everyone keeps talking about. 🙄

@calicuz as opposed ot free uk education

@kutee

Is it "free" there too?

@USA577140813 he's using joe biden math... 🤣

@wildbill83 you guys just cant stop can you
not everything is about YOUR POLITICAL POSITION

@wildbill83 or Bush’s fuzzy math.

@wonkywinky i did the math, relatively speaking 16-17 tops. And that gives him just a couple of billion left
