It was hard to figure out what your problem was with that poorly worded question. Are you against global index funds? Is it the math behind the 4% rule that bothers you? Is it the principle behind stocks? Are you doubting if early retirement is possible? Or is it about the rich being too rich and you think we're contributing to it??! Please explain further.

Usually people will tend to elaborate. At least those who are interested in having a conversation do.

You do not seem very interested in having an honest discussion about this. That's fine. Have a nice day anyway 😅

No need to be hostile. I don't hear any direct counter arguments here other than you don't agree with my claim. I am simply basing my opinion on the fact that I have not seen any evidence of there being a documented correlation, and also because history is full of very intelligent people being very racist and pro slavery.

I don't think such moral questions are at all influenced by intelligence, personally. Is there any data on this? I imagine it must be very hard since biological differences exists and it all kinda boils down to value judgments, which cannot be derived directly from scientific research alone. I realize while arguing this that is is an extremely sensitive and hairy subject to even argue around. I appreciate you entertaining this 😄😄

How is it not?

I don't disagree with the sentiment, however this is a strawman argument. I don't see intelligence inversely correlated with racism either.
