Being better educated doesn’t make them smart. I know some geniuses who had to drop out of high school to work and some real dumbasses with doctorates.
So you think you are born with a specific capacity for intelligence that cannot be changed to make people have a greater capacity to learn? (Obviously blunt force trauma can make someone less capable).
My brother and I noted the propensity for some people born into wealth to be attractive as well. Braces when you’re 10 and a dermatologist when you’re 13 can have massive, lasting impacts decades later. Just a bit more invisible privilege those born to money get.
Historically, rich people have been able to alter what people consider attractive too. There were multiple cultures across the globe that painted their teeth black because being able to eat a lot of imported sugar made your teeth rot.
Straight up health problems being romanticized just because it was a problem only affecting the rich.
Many are smart because they can afford better education.

If you take two equally capable people and give one a better education the better educated one will be generally smarter.
They’ll be more knowledgeable and better educated. They won’t be smarter.
What do you think smarter means if not more knowledgable and better educated?
Smarts/intelligence is the capacity to learn. An educated person has been taught. A knowledgeable person has learned.

There’s definitely variance in human intelligence, yes.
That’s not what I am asking.
