  Btw, that __medium article__ doesn't say "not true on intelligence," it says "orange cats aren't dumb" and doesn't cite any sources except its own blog.

But I relied on a claim by an anthropologist who studies statistics. @clnq's citation notes a correlation with riskier behavior which I think many intelligence tests can codify as unintelligent. But wouldn't be surprised if it is wrong, but factuality isn't the point of the comment anyways. https://twitter.com/rlmcelreath/status/1696120557983425011 https://twitter.com/rlmcelreath/status/1696120557983425011
