Generational wealth and poverty are real. By your measure, the current Kardashian generation would be considered among the best and brightest in America.
Wealth is only a goal for some people, and I'd argue that the best and brightest are more likely to perceive that maybe a rat race to the top isn't the best use of their limited time on earth.
- GauntletWizard 11y agoGenerational wealth is real. So is generational knowledge. My father taught me a large part of what I know. Why deny those who have inherent advantages from taking advantage of such? Oh, right, because you believe in a Harrison Bergeron-esque future in which everyone with talent is handicapped til they are at the level of the lowest retard. I wish you all deserved success with that.
