So it's up to you to be the one to give toue kids a better shot then you had
Hell, can't they write a book or write some compositions to publish? I've got several ragtime pieces I wrote on my computer that I could possibly sell at music stores or something. Easy $$$
And them your great grand kids will be the "privileged ones"
They can man
But they wont
The drive isn't there
They dont wsnt to be the ones to sacrifice for their kids
So they can do better
Akd then their kids can do better
So until one of the generations decides they will be the ones to sacrifice them the bloodline will stay poor
My grandparents were dirt fuckung poor
Vut they worked hard as fuck in fields and driving trucks to give my mom a better shot
And then my mom got a better job in turn giving me a better shot
That's what happened with me.
And if I have kids they will have a better shot then me
And so on
If you're in a shit situation you have to he the one to sacrifice so that 2-3 generations later your kids are making twice as much as you before they hit 22
Sadly, heritable characteristics also determine what one makes.
I'm hoping to be fruitful and multiply by 28,29
A world in which one could buy a higher IQ in a bottle would be a more equal one.
Mainly because it will have a vanishingly small effect on the already very smart, and greater effects the dumber the patient.
Or we could just genetically alter people so they don't suck
(Drugs that modify cognitive abilities tend to work in this way.)
Make stem cells great again
If you think tablets will get people screeching, germline editing would be something else entirely.
Its much eauser to alter your will to work and make it then modify your IQ
IQ is mostly heritable and efforts to increase it have thus far failed.
Huge, bipartisan programs in the US all met with unequivocal failure.
For the simple reason that there is not much one can do.
If you show your kids the will to work
IQ is highly heritable, and only gets more heritable the older you are.
And you give them a better shot then you had
They will do the same
Yes.
Well, not always, but yes.
But you have to always instill that idea
You can duck that up just as quick by giving your kids whatever they want
By not holding them accountable for the actions
Not giving them responsibility then punishing them for not meeting them
Something as simple as getting them a puppy
