Taleb should stay in his lane. He sounds like a "get off my lawn" old douche when he talks about anything other than financial markets. His central tenet in that article is that IQ doesn't correlate with wealth and is therefore useless. How enlightening.

>IQ isn't the only correlate of success.
No is saying it is, clearly there other factors that may be much more important but IQ is clearly a factor.

>The SAT when combined with the high school GPA (HSGPA) has an adjusted correlation correlation coefficient of 0.56 with first-year GPA, meaning the combined measurement accurately predicts how a potential college applicant will perform in their first year of college 56% of the time.
This is a totally incorrect interpretation of what correlation is.
