It is so nice to see that Money is now the only criteria for success.
By that logic J.K Rowling is a more successful author than the Hemingway, Eliot, Fitzgerald, Joyce, Tolkien and the entire Beat generation plus several others put together.
- nolemurs 10y agoI know right? We jump from > how much of the difference between people’s incomes can be tied to IQ to > So if IQ is only a minor factor in success, what is it that separates the low earners from the high ones? The second doesn't follow at all. Lots of evidence suggests that beyond a certain baseline, income is almost uncorrelated to happiness, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that the highest income earners are less happy for the life they've chosen. I would not categorize that as success. If you're smart, and not crazy, your goal isn't to maximize your income.
- Sohakes 10y agoExactly. Many intelligent people I know don't even care that much about money, past a certain point.
