You missed how my statement didn't imply rich equals smart. It only implied that smart people should be able to comprehend the value of our system comparative to others.
Obviously a starving artist might be a poor genius. I'm saying most of those people probably came to first world capitalist countries instead of staying in their shithole countries that were based on socialist or facist ideas and thus understand the value of a system where even the poor aren't that poor. Feel free to find me some genius inventors from socialist countries who stayed there and I'll give you a hundred to one in capitalist countries. Maybe the inventor thing was a poor choice of example for you lol
