@Jerbert-qn4in No there isn't. Both of my grandfathers were self-made millionaires in a country where that was a remarkable feat. They lost everything in WWII. No one has done well since, no matter how hard they worked, how resourceful they were, or how strong their characters and physical health. Even if there were genes that influence wealth -- and I think that's laughable, unless it be the same ones as those that produce narcissism -- you can't assume they exist in a given case.

@Jerbert-qn4in Not only that, but practically speaking, the belief in genes makes people lazy. If an American kid isn't "good in math," we figure it's genes. In Asia and Russia, they figure he needs to work harder. They're clearly right.

@Jerbert-qn4in It's not political. I gave an empirical argument, which was also mathematically sound. Suit yourself.

@Jerbert-qn4in Maybe genetics is the simple answer that gives you comfort. See my comment re: laziness, above. (How much math beyond Calculus III have you had?)

@Jerbert-qn4in I'm so sorry I called you names and indulged in layers of ad hom, imputing motives and arguments to you that are not yours. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
