and their children are very wealthy?
What about the Duke brothers in “Trading Places”, lol? Seems a lot of rich kids like Obama and Hillary and Warren, so brain size difference is not so much of an issue as compared to how it is actually used.
Imagine that. Stupid people have stupid kids!
I believe the truth is a larger brain leads to wealth/prosperity.
People with larger brains tend to be more successful. A larger brain is something you are born with (genetics), not something that the government can give you "Executive Action" or passing a series of utopian laws ("War on Poverty," "Affirmative Action," etc.)
Just as Liberals have only recently discovered that there are differences between men and women, they may someday discover that there are differences between the races.
How long before #brainprivilege becomes a thing?
It’s not hard. Affluent people value education, they expose their kids to reading at an earlier age.
Enter a culture where teens breed with multiple baby daddies and the children are essentially left to fend for themselves.
A brain that gets a workout develops to a greater degree than that of a feral kid.
Mandatory lobotomy program for brain tissue redistribution to follow.
Government operatives controlled by “The 1%” are sneaking in to the homes of poor people at night and harvesting brain matter from their children.
Either that or their harvesting it from them in the public schools.
It’s the only possible explanation...
back to phrenetics (or however it’s spelled) we go!
Maybe they’re born that way...like Gays.
To show how idiotic the premise is here: just look no further than the Kennedy clan.
The stark difference between what poor babies and rich babies eat
Children of liberals forced to be vegans typically have brain defects as a result.
Sounds to me like they needed to “normalize” for some other factors.
Bad pre- and post-natal care is probably the main culprit. Blaming it on genetics only applies when discussing inbreeding.
It's not the income. It's the parent who doesn't teach the kid how to use his/her brain.
Upper income people are educated by choice, and their kids learn from example. If the parents use their brains, the kids grow up using their brains as well.
It's a family thing - not an income thing.
Imagine what Einstein could have done had he been born rich!
The poor should be issued daily rations of Brawndo to help them catch up.
At the expense of the rich, of course.
After all, it has electrolytes.
There is also a strong correlation between IQ and income. Stupid people rarely make a million dollars, barring athletics or music - and then they rarely keep it.
"Noble and Sowell have two theories about why poor children have smaller brains. One is that poor families lack access to material goods that aid healthy development, such as good nutrition and higher-quality health care. The other is that poor families tend to live more chaotic lives, and that stress could inhibit healthy brain development."They didn't even dare to mention another possibility--that the parents had smaller brains and passed this genetically to their children, giving them a propensity to remain poor due to lower intelligence and therefore lower ability to earn money. I'm not saying this is likely, but as scientists, they should put all options on the table no matter how politically distasteful, and see where science takes them. Of course, there could even be epigenetic factors in play due to low nutrition, stress, etc. too.
