Date: March 14th, 2019 12:01 AM Author: bull headed fuchsia step-uncle's house depressive i'm starting to unironically buy into arguments for heavy inheritance/death taxes. i don't how how the fuck high quality people manage to produce such garbage tier offspring, but this happens way too often. it surprises me because it goes against everything we know about genetics (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4220513&forum_id=2#37928308) |

Date: March 14th, 2019 12:08 AM Author: bull headed fuchsia step-uncle's house depressive it intuitively seems highly unlikely that it's in society's best interest to take resources from the offspring of successful people and give it to the state
i really just do not understand how some of these people's kids end up as such inexplicably worthless trash. almost everyone i've ever met has ended up more or less like their parents once they are adults. why is it so drastically different for these people just because they grew up in a wealthy environment? |

Date: March 14th, 2019 12:11 AM Author: Bonkers turdskin lay Maybe the parents were shitbags too but just more motivated to work and make money since they weren't rich to start with. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4220513&forum_id=2#37928353) |

Date: March 14th, 2019 12:16 AM Author: bull headed fuchsia step-uncle's house depressive most moderately wealthy people i've met are genuinely higher quality individuals, but i agree that this is probably most likely what's happening in these situations
i also suspect that many of these situations involve a successful person choosing a really shitty mate, and that's the real reason why their kids end up as disasters. i have definitely met a few genuinely admirable guys who built their own success from the ground up and married awful women |

Date: March 14th, 2019 10:45 AM Author: jade lascivious bawdyhouse reading party Yes, they do regress to the mean if you marry another high quality smart person. That's exactly what is meant by "regression to the mean." It's not the "mean" of the parents' IQs, it's the "mean" of the population.
http://www.fallacyfiles.org/regressf.html
"For example, the children of tall parents tend to be tall themselves, but not as tall as their parents. The fact that the children tend to be taller than average is probably the result of genetics, but the fact that they tend not to be as tall as their parents is the result of regression to the mean." |

Date: March 14th, 2019 1:07 PM Author: bull headed fuchsia step-uncle's house depressive this is a misconception. once people with high IQ (or any other highly heritable characteristic) begin breeding exclusively with each other, you change the breeders equation to account for the characteristics of the new population makeup
https://westhunt.wordpress.com/2013/06/07/the-breeders-equation/
this is why it is important for high quality people to only mate with other high quality people, and why i suspect that so many successful men end up with shitty kids - they married women who didn't come from high quality genetic stock. cochrane points this out in the above blogpoast |

Date: March 14th, 2019 11:15 AM Author: Crimson Hairraiser National Security Agency Dragon What I find interesting are the families who do maintain comfortable status over multiple generations and hundred of years. I’m sorry to bring this up as some posters will never forget me saying this but my own family tree reflects this. We have never been genuinely rich but solidly UMC and even borderline rich (small town wealth) going back to the 18th century America. But there are other lines with common ancestors that descended into non entity. I went through a brief period when I googled the distant cousins that shared common ancestors just to see where people ended up. And it’s interesting. So why should some lines maintain the “intelligence” while others didn’t?
I’ve concluded that the answer, at least part of the answer, lies in who you married. If you married a bright woman your kids were likely to be bright. If you married a stupid woman, the kids regressed to the mean and their kids did even worse. |

Success is correlated with intelligence, but not as much as people pretend. It is just that idiots just equate intelligence with money, so everyone thinks the CEO of X company is a genius even though the average Syracuse law student outperformed this "genius" on every measurement up until he founded this company. If you look at most multi-millionaires, they weren't phi beta kappa at Harvard, and if you look at most people who were phi beta kappa at Harvard, they're not multi-millionaires.
Combine that with the fact that if you exist in the world you surely see families that have 1 smart kid and 1 dumb kid, and it is a wonder anyone could think this way. |

Date: March 14th, 2019 12:30 AM Author: bull headed fuchsia step-uncle's house depressive intelligence is more strongly correlated with economic success than any other single characteristic. i'm certainly not a person who worships IQ or money, but it's just a fact and a really obvious one. the argument that resources are better in the hands of the state than in the hands of the offspring of its generally most intelligent citizens is a pretty tough sell
children from the same parents varying greatly in intelligence (or any other quantifiable characteristic) is also very rare. it happens, just not very often |
