Rush discussed this today. My take is not that the rich are smarter as a group. They achieve much more than do the poor, not by genetic superiority, but rather by genetics or accidental training, they internalized a modest form of individuating values, which predisposes them to being successful and wealthy.
The poor are not dumb. Rather they never were trained as youngsters to work hard and smart to get ahead.
The smart can be nonindividuators and nonachievers. The rich can be nonachievers and nonindividuators that inherit their wealth.
The dumb can be individuators and high achievers. Ability is far less important than a dream and the will to get after it.
