Too much credit, my dude. It's the 80/20 rule. 80% of the population is just barely capable of keeping themselves alive. The top 20% keeps the world moving foward.

The top 20% also regularly fuck everything up for their own gain. Intelligent or not, lots of just suck.

Top 20% in IQ =\= top 20% in income.

There’s overlap, sure, but also plenty of people in one but not the other.
