Stating that the paragraph exists doesn’t really convince me… are there any specific sentences you can point at, and explain why they imply that rich = stupid and poor = smart? Seems to me they’re just saying that they have the privilege to choose to be stupid, not that being rich means they are stupid.
It doesn’t say being poor makes you smarter, just that it strongly incentivises you to smarten up, or else your life will be much harder
