      Yes. Class privilege is real. That is where my privilege comes from - having parents able to send me to a private school. Economic class does correlate with race/ethnicity to a certain extent but not with gender & not consistently with race. Many of my classmates South Asian https://twitter.com/ineedmoretea/status/944741847502655488 …

      But based on adoption studies class privilege doesn’t have as large an effect as most people think.

      As large an effect on what? It won't change intelligence, obviously, but having money is a privilege. It does make your life better.

          Actually money resulting in good nutrition, low stress childhood with healthcare actually does influence IQ. This has been found in research. Poor nutrition, stress , lack of security negatively impacts IQ.

          Well, there is the Flynn effect. A more stimulating environment while growing up, will make you smarter.

          Yes, I think a more stimulating environment has some permanent effect on IQ.

          Genetics in general has much lower impact on health, intelligence, etc than many believe. Probably somewhere between 30 - 50 %

          Depends on which society and time period but in USA now that sounds about right. I just differ in what I think the popular opinion is, I guess

          I just means in terms of life outcomes in general it probably has less effect nowadays than most people think.
