Haha B-Dawk20. Who's the young anime fan again?
> Stupid or not, they make way more money than the average person does. Even so, how do you know they are stupid? They definitely are doing something right.
Statistically you might be able to show that athletes are stupid. Statistically you might be able to show that rich people are smart.
This doesn't mean that any chosen example of a rich person is smart, or an athletic person is stupid. This is probably the most common misconception of statistical interpretation, and it's a really... stupid... misconception in of itself. Someone can be smart and stupid, just like someone can be rich and athletic or whatever.
However casey is correct obviously that if someone is stupid, then being athletic and making a ton of money doesn't change that fact (it probably makes it a lot worse as opposed to pursuing education). But you know, you being smarter doesn't change the fact that a hypothetical dumb athlete achieved a ton more money than you, by his own means
.
You could also say that if you're weak, then being smart and making a ton of money doesn't change the fact that you're weak. But you know, being weak wouldn't change the fact that this hypothetical smart person achieved a ton more money than you, by his own means.
Same thing either way, just different genetic traits being used to achieve success.
