@sapinker I agree with this, and think "genetic class sorting" has taken place in the US. But it doesn't justify the levels of inequality -
@rationalrevo Plus, researching family lineage lines doesn't mean "Muh genes" account for social status. Lots more to explain with that... -
@tiradefaction Very true. I think genes account for a portion, but certainly not the whole portion. Is it 70% or 20%? I don't know... -
@rationalrevo Agreed. It's hard to say, personal experience for me would veer more to the 20%, but of course that's hardly evidence... -
@rationalrevo I also think Pinker is using this editorial to push his long time advocacy for focusing solely on poverty -
@tiradefaction As I point out, just cause the guys at the top may be the smartest doesn't mean they aren't cheaters, it makes it more likely -
@rationalrevo Very good point. Related to the point I made to pinker too, the powerful feel entitled and don't want to share...
