You're two-thirds correct. While intelligence or acquired skills do
generally correlate well with material success, they are hardly a
guarantee. There are many stupid and incompetent people occupying
highly-paid jobs, and there are many competent and intelligent people
who cannot find jobs.

If the correlation were complete, someone like Stephen Hawking, a
respected and competent scientist, would be making far more than
someone like Carly Fiorina, who was paid $45 million as reward for
being fired and nearly driving HP into bankruptcy.

Stupid people are
mostly unemployed, or do low paid menial work or are just
unemployable, and fortunately they dont fly planes.


There's a threshold of intelligence required to fly an airplane, but
it's not as high as many pilots like to believe.


Anthony, you're just slithering to avoid explaining why you are such a
failure in life.
