Being intelligent certainly sounds helpful. I think that falls under my first point if intelligence is primarily situation (as the life you're born into is a situation and thus so is your genetics).

> How do you suppose we confront "the IQ problem"? - A "Manhattan project" to discover protocols, tools, medications, cybernetics, new modes of education, anything really, that can enhance general human intelligence.[0] - A rethinking of social welfare policies to take into account what we're learning about evolutionary biology and genetics. If certain heritable/genetic factors have a disproportionate impact on outcomes, we need to consider the hypothesis that certain well-meaning policies might not have a significant impact on permanently liberating people from poverty, given game theoretic constraints. We would need to find a way to make our economies positive sum, rather than zero sum games.
