I don't enjoy discussions of intelligence or genius as intrinsics. Every time someone brings up the "Pareto Principle" I get grossed out.

It may be true that certain individuals are able to outperform others. But what are the conditions that allowed them to do so?

It does not remove someone's accomplishments to say they had help in getting there.

But a system of intentional disparity means that the majority of people get left behind. We have to sell that this is fair somehow.
