Hello everyone.
It's been a while since I wrote in this forum. I've been empirically learning as much as possible how to create an audience on YouTube and find ways to create value in the financial industry.
Yet, today I stumbled upon this video created by one of the most pragmatic content creators I know regarding finance.

It's interesting to consider the idea that brilliant people may have a disadvantage when it comes to earning potential, as they may be more likely to pursue jobs in fields that don't pay well, such as academia or the arts. On the other hand, those with slightly above-average intelligence may be more likely to pursue careers in business or finance, where the potential for high earnings is more significant.
It's also worth considering the point made in the video that dumb people may be more willing to take risks and pursue unconventional paths to success, which could explain why some end up earning more than their more intelligent counterparts.
This condition can be more pronounced for those creating businesses.
I can see some truth in these ideas. Still, it's important to note that intelligence is just one factor among many that contribute to success. A solid work ethic, creativity, and networking skills are also important.
What do you all think? Do you agree with the points made in the video? Have you noticed any examples of this phenomenon in your own life or in the lives of those around you?
