These both seem pretty common, so I’m curious about the correlation that you’ve observed. Is it mainly based on people you know personally? In that case I expect the correlation not to hold amongst the wider population.
Also, a big effect which probably doesn’t show up much amongst the people you know: younger people seem more altruistic (or at least signal more altruism) and also seem to have worse epistemics than older people.
