And also, are you lucky? Do you belong to a generation that confers unusual opportunities to you?

You write a lot about IQ. Do you think people should know their IQ?
No. I think it's unnecessary. We need to get away from this stratification of intelligence You need to be smart enough to get into a good college, and you have to be honest and considerate and work hard. But you don't need to know more than that about your IQ. Or your kids' IQ.

MORE COMPLEX

Interesting comment.
But the reality is MUCH MORE COMPLEX.
To become wealthy (if you do not already come from a dynasty), you have to focus only on your specialty and on your aim and you need to have a certain blindness to the rest ... always keep an eye on people .... who could be useful to you.
You take advantage of "alumni" solidarity and networkds.

Why should I have to give money for aftercare when I am a single mother ....regardless of the fact I earn peanuts above the guidelines...
