...Intelligence is correlated with income and intelligence is hereditary (2,3). It is very likely that children of the wealthy will always be smarter on average. To attempt to “correct” this is futile. I come from a state where the privileged are well cared for. Kennedy and Kerry come to mind as two of the most useless humans on the planet. Their wealth lifted them far above many useful and smarter people who came from meager means. I think the author is pretentious and full of crap.

I went to a New England prep school with some very wealthy kids and they weren't none too bright.

I encourage you to read the articles mentioned in the footnotes. Like it or not, intelligence is hereditary and correlated with income.
