Maybe dividing things into a continuum of 'under the individual's control' to 'beyond the individual's control' doesn't make sense. It's still something my brain tries to do, and it still feels unfair that intelligence would so strongly determine outcomes.

Could you give an example of what you would consider 'fair'?

I think you can dissolve the argument by substituting "under individual's control" with "trainable".

I agree.

I think Swimmer is talking about the same thing Eliezer pointed out in Why Are Individual IQ Differences OK?
