What about moral luck: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_luck https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_luck If higher IQ correlates with higher income, and higher income means better circumstances (health, safety, opportunity, etc) then wouldn't that explain greater empathy and ethics? As opposed to someone who has to fight for their survival. Because when you're talking about survival or the threat to it, all ethics go out the window. For example, I had fairly high test scores indicating high cognitive ability - this has made life relatively easier for me. I see coworkers, on the other hand, one socioeconomic class below and there is a pattern of mistrust in others, the mentality of scarcity, and the belief that people who are successful are lucky or corrupt. All of which seems to indicate less empathy.
