Those who want you to doubt that anarchy (self-ownership and individual responsibility) is the best, most moral, and ethical way to live among others are asking you to accept that theft, aggression, superstition, and slavery are perhaps better.
Lose no sleep over it, Kent. You're very smart indeed, and have an amazing way with words.
In any case, there's another way to read that graph. Given that it displays income and net worth in dollar terms, and that a "dollar" is a certain measure of silver weight, no baby boomers have any income at all. Accordingly, they all have an IQ of zero.
I've done that. And I'm "smart enough" to know to stop accepting FRNs once they become completely worthless and no one will accept them in trade for goods and services. Incredibly I can't make some people understand that it's the same as working for free if that happens-- I've had them respond "but if that's all anyone will pay with, you have to accept it!". Sorry... tangent.
The chart is badly done.
ReplyDeleteBut to correlate with the numbers, an IQ of 65 would show a new worth below $3,000, and an income below $18,000 a year.
Yeah, that's me all right. Way below.

Corollary: to raise your IQ, buy silver...
