“If something is favored by the invisible hand of evolution, it is healthy; if not, it is ill.
It’s okay if you don’t care about evolution, but evolution certainly cares about you.”
Very specifically, Darwinian evolution. Evolution by itself is the genetic rate of change. But Darwinian evolution, roughly speaking, is the ability to reproduce under environmental constraints and absence of modern modifiers
Under modern 1st world context, we are subject to general rate of genetic change (the relative absence of severe ecological constraints i.e Darwinian pressure. Due to mechanization and job hyper specialization)

This is an important distinction -thank you for pointing it out
If you had to guess how much of total variance in salient life outcomes is determined by both g and p together?
Like 60% maybe
good writing !
Very interesting read. Thank you for writing this up
