Induction gets you nowhere though: where did our privileged parents get their brains from? You're proving my point here: we inherit roughly 50% of our traits through our parent's genes.
I never claimed IQ was the best measure (surprised it looked like random noise though), but certainly our cognitive traits matter. So to my question: How do you distinguish that privilege from the privilege you got from your "class"?
Edit: Sorry if I came across snarky here, I appreciate your answer!
- todd8 7y agoWhere do the other 50% of our genes come from?
- bluGill 7y agoYou get 50% of your parents genes, the other 50% isn't passed on to you at all. They might be passed on to your siblings.
- michaelmcmillan 7y agoI guess you're smart enough to realize that was a typo :)
- todd8 7y agoYes, :)

You're proving my point here: we inherit roughly 50% of our traits through our parent's genes. Well, of people with equal IQs, isn't a potential 0-50% penalty from nurture/privilege still huge enough to make points about "self-made men taking risks" (and implying that others are "lazy" or whatever) moot?
