Is money the best IQ test?

Is money the best IQ test?

No. Capitalism emphasis access to capital and luck much more than intellect.

>luck
No such thing.

There's no such thing as luck

>accidents
>people who lead a healthy lifestyle getting cancer and other terminal illnesses

The worst.
There's no luck per se, only stuff we don't know about.

iq=200/wealth

Have you seen youtube E-celebs? I would say no.

Considering you can become a millionaire via nothing more than unwitting self-degradation?
I'd say no.

>>accidents
>>people who lead a healthy lifestyle getting cancer and other terminal illnesses
Accidents can happen to anyone, so can cancer. What does this imaginary concept of "luck" have to do with it?

Literally the worst, the more greedy and stupid you are the more likely you are to be rich. Not in 100% of cases, but in very many.

Luck as in random chance not something "You have" or "you don't"

>random
No such thing.

Why wouldnt "unwitting self-degradation" be the most intelligent strategy then?

>Porn artists on patreon, youtube letsplayers, sportsball players, musicians and drug dealers all have exceptionally high IQ because they make a lot of money.

oh boy here we go again

now go away

Nothing at all exists. Its all a shared hallucination. Prove me wrong.

>Its all a shared hallucination
Speak for yourself.

>mfw I find out how much some obnoxious letsplay youtuber makes

That's nothing, you should check those twitch streamers with 20k subs who make about 50-60k per month from subs alone, coupled with another 30-40k from donations, and another 20-30k from sponsors and paid shilling for games. Or no, maybe the camwhores on chaturbate where a camwhore from top50 makes upwards of 50k per month for faking epilepsy for 4-5 hours a day

Welcome to 21st century, it's only going to get worse.

No, but it's definitely better than an IQ test.

No

Not all rich people are smart.

But if you are not rich you are not smart*.

This is why IQ is such a flawed measurement. It just measures potential. Money is a practical measurement which makes it more meaningful. If you are smart why are you not rich? Surely you should be able to think of some good ways to make money if you're so smart?

Because it is UNWITTING, id est: unconscious and therefore not a strategy.

Why are people in the US so retarded? Honestly OP, you're stupid enough to make this thread yet you're more well off than most of the world so your hypothesis is oxymoronic.

>Nothing at all exists.
I'll temporarily accept that position so I can apply it to the next part of your statement.
>Its all a shared hallucination.
Well, if "nothing at all exists", then it cannot be a "shared hallucination", as nothing (and no one exists) to 'hallucinate' it.
However, if it is "all a shared hallucination" then you must accept that we, as this apparent collective consciousness, exist and therefore something exists, which means that you also accept that "nothing at all exists" is false.
So, what is it?
Are you a bumbling boob or an ineffectual tit?

>drug dealers all have exceptionally high IQ
No, not all, but some. Especially if they perform the synthesis themselves with understanding of the chemistry principles behind it.

>People who win the lottery are smart because they have money
Mhm, no. Your statement is pure bullshit.

>Sweeping generalizations are now a basis for a solid argument.
Mhm, no. That's actually called lowbrow sophistry.

How do you perceive luck though without being the exact person, knowing every intracite action made in their life?

no because not everyone is participating in a game of maximizing their money

so while you might imagine wealthy people must be at least somewhat intelligent, it doesn't prove the lack of intelligence of people who have less

in other words bait/10

the more intelligent, the less risks you take

Idiot.

IQ is over the long term a better predictor if success than being born into a good family.

A capitalistic system isn’t a test of IQ alone though, industriousness is a factor as well, probably more important too. Risk (not the same as luck) but depends on where you are looking to work.

>inherits wealth

sure took a lot of brain power to do that

if your parents have high IQ, you will very likely also have high IQ

Obviously, because of the environment they raise you in! Not because of the genes you will inherit.
