"true forever" to what extent? In 1979, 14% of PhDs went to non-citizens. In 2024, it's 38%. (Table 1-6 in https://ncses.nsf.gov/surveys/earned-doctorates/2024#data )

No need for family separation. You simply compare the correlation between monozygotic ("identical") twins vs dizygotic ("non-identical") twins. For example, monozygotic twins will always have the same eye color (99+% cor

True, though it's irksome how the chart conflates "Rich" with "High taxable income." These are not the same, which is exactly the problem! eg: The #1 most wealthy American is Larry Ellison, whose net worth increased
