You can deny the correlation between intelligence and wealth all you want, but you're just exhibiting signs of delusion and denial. Maybe its not fair that you yourself were not born with the gift of high intelligence, but no reason to deny the obvious connection between IQ and wealth.

You'd be amazed at how easy it is for teachers and schools to identify the truly gifted students. I'm not talking about the slightly above-average schmucks; I mean the truly intelligent. They stand out quite early and quite obviously. Then they get special attention, special classes, special schools, and special opportunities. Most western civilizations are pretty good about elevating those who meet the standards. China too, from what I've read.

Instead of a thread about sour grapes, why don't you people focus on how to be successful in spite of not being intelligent. Hard work and dedication still count for something. Just because you're not smart doesn't automatically mean you're consigned to a live of poverty. That only happens when you give up and start saying things like "success is all about connections and luck." Sad.

I almost feel bad bursting the delusions of the retards in this thread.
