Life is a lottery, and you're genes your lottery ticket. The sad thing is that society functions so that intelligent people are rewarded, while the less intelligent are punished. Add biological behaviour mechanisms, personality and the impact, number and scale of trauma that your interaction with the environment throws at you, and it's really hard to see how the less fortunate are going to achieve the same kind of success as the fortunate. A society based on luck, is a terrible society. We need to understand how each individual can become the best version of him/herself based on the cards they are dealt at conception.
