MZ twins correlate 0.45 in single-year income, rising to 0.63 over 20 years. Long-term income differences are mostly genetic. Environmental factors explain only 37% of income variance. Repeated failures prove inherent loser status, not bad luck. Life is largely fair based on heritable traits. Status is age-relative, favoring young high-achievers. Youth convert status to mating success before pairing off. Immutable traits like intelligence and personality predict income better than malleable behaviors. Ageism targets unchangeable failure signals. Older workers demand salaries matching their known worth. Startups can't afford proven mediocrities. Hiring old failures defects from incentive-compatible norms. Anti-ageism is slave morality denying reality. Track records make candidates too easy to assess accurately. No alpha exists in extensive resumes.
