Indeed a lot of the success has to do with Culture vs. genetics.
Genetics has a role of course but it is like the genetics that lead to heart conditions and such, it doesn’t 100% guarantee you will get heart disease, just make if a lot more likely that it will develop into it.
Culture is VERY important, because the wrong culture can wreck ANYONE and eventually EVERYONE.
Genetics is just the “Hardware platform”, like the difference between a Dell and a Compaq Computer, Culture is the “Operating system”.
We have a lot more software problems than Hardware issue when it comes to humans.
It could be a 'chicken and egg' thing....
If you're smart you tend to think 'being smart' is important.
If you're charming you judge people are how socially graceful they are... and in both cases you would choose to help your children become more of 'what was important'...
Chicken or egg - which came first?
Plenty of poor and stupid Chinese.
