My IQ piece: exams do not measure knowledge and abilities v. well; exams are extremely good at measuring the ability to take exams. But avoid the denying the antecedent fallacy: being good at exams doesn't mean you aren't good at being Fat Tony. Best test: are you rich at 35? — PolitiTweet.org

Don’t worry if your A level results are disappointing. I got a C and 2 Us and I’m currently holidaying on this boat. https://t.co/f7BQxi86wS

Cardiology is statistically confusing. Former VP Dick Cheney had 5 heart attacks, the 1st at 37, atrial fibrillation, severe left-sided heart failure, a heart transplant, plus peripheral artery d., thrombosis... Aside from the fact that he is a dangerous asshole, he is now 81. https://t.co/ePS0deJ2Is — PolitiTweet.org

2/ OK, let me be more precise. At 35, be satisfied financially (in terms of not envying brother or sister in law, in other words having FU money). Under the condition of still being "rich" at 55. If that's what you want to do. Doesn't apply to social workers and nuns. Clearer? — PolitiTweet.org
