<Why ask why? Because all my life, or most of it, anyway, I've wondered why there is poverty and suffering in the midst of abundance. With the hope, of course, that if we understood it then we would stop it. >

That's a very simple question to answer CB. IQs range from near zero to 200. Those with big numbers [unlike golf scores] do very, very well. They cope with life's challenges easily and earn a lot of money. Those with low numbers find calculating linear regression analyses of stock market moves difficult, so earn very little.

Because zero is always the lowest IQ and poverty always starts at $0 and there is no upper limit to either, the gap between richest and poorest and smartest and most retarded will always increase as opportunities continue to increase. The only way to narrow the gap is to cannibalize the smart and productive. Cannibalism is NOT a good idea, to me anyway.

Dumb Aztecs hoarding gold will not do well.
