rebuttal 1:
"but trump inherited his money!"
rebuttal 2:
"well, he's not really rich, though."
it's actually the wrong argument, in the long run. nowhere have you rejected the premise: that intelligence is somehow correlated with income.
see, that's the lie you need to undermine. it really doesn't matter who wins this election. but, pulling the rug out from under the calvinist mythology does matter....
this is a scatter plot of income and intelligence, from a respected academic publication. this is not a blog post. you need a jstor account to get this.
what it indicates is that there is some correlation between stupidity and poverty, but no correlation at all between intelligence and wealth.
and, look at the society. look at a football player's salary and compare it to a professor's salary. the market rewards criminality, but it does not reward intelligence.
