145 -> 120 IQ decline
Because I can’t access good schools and teachers. Because I didn’t schmooze to the admissions directors and other gate keepers.
I should’ve worn better clothes, driven a Porsche, and displayed the right shibboleths. Except that even now I’m too immature and stupid to know what they are.

There are many variables that go into a child's development. The parents are merely one of them. They can do their best and things can still go south.
