>Interestingly you refute the idea that intelligence determines someone’s “worth,”

Well, this is true: intelligence does _not_ determine someone's worth.

Ultimately how intelligent you are is irrelevant providing that you _can_ provide value.

>Still rats in the race, just rats with a slightly higher score on a particular dimension.

Yes, but surrounded by other rats with a slightly higher score on a particular dimension.

But anyone can still learn how to do it: abstract reasoning us not reserved for the "intelligent", it's open to anyone who is of average intelligence at least.
