You’d need to think something like geniuses tend to come from families with genius potential, and these families also tend to be in the top couple of percent by income.
It would line up with claims made by Gregory Clark in The Son Also Rises.
To be clear, I’m not saying I agree with these claims or think this model is the most plausible one.
It’s not exactly a nice conclusion.

Understood, thanks. Yeah, this seems like a bit of an implausible just-so story to me.
