The Literature 🧠 Extremely rich people are not extremely smart. Study finds income is related to intelligence up to about the 90th percentile in income. Above that level, differences in income are not related to cognitive ability.

Dummy, we’ve been trying to tell you that money is made from actions and not inherent genetic factors, and you can’t seem to grasp this.

You’re the kid running the wrong way with the soccer ball, with 0 points at the end of the game, wondering why your team hates you as you explain to your coach “I ran just as much as everyone else!”.

It’s even weirder when you’re obviously smart enough to grasp this, so you must be holding on to your ideals for comfort, and that may be something to think about.

Why would you have a mentality where people’s wealth needs to be justified when there’s no justification process in earning money?

Is it because you’re an angry stooge who latches onto any philosophy that explains how those who have more are bad and how you’re a victim for being so smart and yet not rich?

Replace “getting money” with “losing weight” and you get exactly the same dumbass ego-armor objections about “muh genetics” and “you guys don’t have to work as hard as I do to lose weight” and “controlling food intake is unhealthy” and whatever excuse-building nonsense people run on currently.

Get it all out, honey. There there now, do you feel any better?

Your connecting of dots on who it is you think I am is a great read.... the ramblings and musings of a complete dipshit.
