Genetics give you a greater chance of being smart ( if both parents are smart). Your statement seems to reasonate with me: 2nd generation : wealthy.

Eg. You need the stablility from the 2nd generation to get to the 3rd ( getting investment loans, contacts, ...) and the opportunity to "hit for the stars" multiple times.

Introduction to IBM is summarized under: contacts.
