If that’s true, that’s one more reason not to choose whom to associate with based on how rich they look. Or by “not hanging out with poor people” do you mean you do an income audit on all your acquaintances?
Because they are terrible optimizers they don’t actually succeed. I can spot low-IQ, low-income, unproductive behavior a mile away. It helps to have grown up on welfare I suppose.
Really? Because reading random intellectual-sounding things on the Internet instead of actually getting things done seems like a fairly common failure mode… that, or playing World of Warcraft.

Are you equally good at spotting high-IQ, low-income, unproductive behavior?
Pretty good, but they’re uncommon so I have limited data to calibrate on.

Some people get less done than others. I, for one, am job-free. ;)
