This is very true. Academia is oppressive and exploitative so there are moral upsides to dropping out of the system ASAP, money aside.

This is all based on the assumption that billionaires’ iq distribution is L(135/10), evidence of this is crucial. Otherwise it’s garbage in - garbage out like most analytics. The margins are so close, even if you change the SD keeping the same mean of 135 this analysis won’t hold up.

Also it’s better to do it for a larger sample size of HNWI (30 million+).
