Money and your family of origin (“environment”) can make a difference. IQ and all of the things that go into it (“environment” and “genetics”) se... |

| They're both right. It's a matter of perspective. Bernie could use a few tweaks to the system, but doesn't perceive problems with a system that benefits people who look like him.
