If You're So Smart, Why Are You So Poor?
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=218322&nl=daily you are
so smart, why are you so poor? It's the question that burns through
every 'Actually...' you've ever typed in a comment section. It has the
glitter of a trap: either you admit you're not that smart, or you
admit the world is not that fair. People hate both answers. They were
promised that the mind was a ladder. They were promised that
intelligence was convertible into currency. They were promised that if
they memorized the right facts, they could command the future by name.
Instead: debt, a dead-end job, a dashboard light blinking check
engine, and a mind that won't turn off.

Here's a number that should make you vomit: IQ explains about 21% of
income variation. That's it. Four fifths of why someone makes bank has
nothing to do with their brain. Nobel economist James Heckman ran the
numbers harder and found IQ accounts for 1-2% of income variance when
you factor in everything else. One to two percent. Your SAT score is
basically a rounding error on your paycheck.

A newly published study has found that males of some of our earliest
known ancestors were significantly larger than females. The pronounced
difference in body size present in both Australopithecus afarensis
(the East African species that includes the famous fossil "Lucy") and
A. africanus (a closely related southern African species) suggests the
ancient hominins may have lived in social systems marked by intense
competition among males, leading to the substantial size disparity
among the sexes.

President Donald Trump's tariff onslaught this week left a lot of
losers - from small, poor countries like Laos and Algeria to wealthy
U.S. trading partners like Canada and Switzerland. They're now facing
hefty taxes - tariffs - on the products they export to the United
States. What's unclear is whether there will ultimately be any winners
- even in the United States, the intended beneficiary of Trump's
protectionist policies. Trump's trade war has pushed the average U.S.
tariff from 2.5% at the start of 2025 to 18.3% now, the highest since
1934, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University. One expert at
