Because we live in terminal stages of capitalism.
Like the name of the system suggests your efforts barely matter - it's all about the capital you were born with - either your genetics, family connections or financial wealth.

it's terminal democracy not terminal capitalism. capitalism is a meritocracy. democracy only advances the less capable.

You mean the fruits of regulations. Regulations only ever increase with time, meaning innovation stalls.

Well put. Redistributive polices are incredibly dysgenic.

But it is right in a way, unfortunately the low IQ underclass didn't choose to be born and usually are produced of their parents own stupidity, as privileged person with high IQ you have the moral duty to alleviate their burden, but it doesn't mean we should let them breed like animals, we should uplifting the best of them and suppress the bad.

If the people who already have the money aren't giving it to you, and if you're smart enough to know you're not going to get away with stealing enough to make you rich, how would being smart lead to being rich?

I suppose the implication is that you should be smart enough to avoid getting caught.

Morals, mostly. That, the marked intelligence drop associated with wealth, and most philosophers agreeing that certain states are better for the soul than others.
Optimize for the long game.

Autism, I don't even understand the value of money.
Money seems to violate the laws of thermodynamics
