NOW I get it. Of course rich people are smart! Everyone else is dumb, including researchers at NIH, professors at Harvard, and so on.

Rich people are smart to choose rich parents! Darn, why didn't I think of that?

Talk to ordinary people, on the bus, on the street, security guards, people in line at the grocery store. You'll find that they are as smart as people with Ph.Ds. I'm always amazed by talents and knowledge of people on the street. I know I live in Berkeley, but these are not Berkeley students or teachers.

I think a lot of rich people are really stupid, since they inherit their money. One family in particular springs to mind.

Yes, them. Another two dozen are springing into my mind, as I think about it. Stupid -- and l.a.z.y.
