Re:SAT to Add ‘Adversity Score’ That Rates Students’ Hardships by Retric on Thursday May 16, 2019 @09:41PM (#19935372)
“Your "intelligence" is definitely one of those things completely outside your control.”

> How?

The capacity for intelligence is outside of your control for example genetic disorders are not chosen by the individual. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_syndrome

Further, when it comes to intelligence and Nature vs Nurture it’s really both. People 15,000 years ago people had nearly identical genetics, but their society lacked the knowledge to pass a SAT level math test.

Now, making the best of your social and genetic background is up to everyone. But, assuming everything is balanced is at best willful ignorance.
