I googled this and it was a complete waste of time. Charles Murray essentially argues that heritability plus assortative mating makes it so that the gap between the smart and the not so will grow larger. The smart will come from the upper middle class who are already going to college because they're going to marry other upper middle class people who go to college and make kids who will be upper middle class and go to college.

He also strongly argues that your ability to succeed is a measure of your innate intelligence. (perhaps this is the part that user/yasp thought would be considered abhorrent?) and that combines with the earlier parts to say that there will be increased stratification and it will be on intelligence as well as on money.

This whole thing is a waste of time because I gained nothing novel from having chased this vague-ass comment. Ugh.

This would be far more positive a contribution if you focused on how and what the author has said rather than anticipating HN's reaction.

Maybe edit or reframe your comment.

And saying what in those writings?

bummer that just mentioning someone’s name requires this kind of prefacing
