      Even this image is...something else. Genes cause intelligence which causes income, because intelligence isn't socially influenced/defined AT ALL 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄pic.twitter.com/LVhCzhspB5

          I mustn’t have the right genes as these images bamboozle me. Or maybe I don’t have the right income?

          Isn't that what the box for "additional genetic and environmental variation" indicates?

          Yes and no - then you have those who make themselves from absolutely nothing and come from families who have never received higher education and lack the intellect this is referring to. Genetics may be an advantage yes, but you can make anything of yourself if you have the drive.

          I just heard on the radio yesterday that taking too long of naps can cause heart attacks according to a recent study. No offence, but what is the motivation behind and where on earth are these studies coming from and why?

          Intelligence is determined by both genes and environment. This finding is consistent with that. It's not surprising that intelligence is a determinant of income. They have a FAQ here that may address some of your concerns. https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41467-019-13585-5/MediaObjects/41467_2019_13585_MOESM2_ESM.pdf …

          When most people discuss G vs E, they’re really discussing how much financial and emotional resources should go to the underclass. This matters if you’re in a group designated as the official, scientifically-determined underclass.
