Think about the philosopher king ruling idea. With DJT you got one, just not the philosophy that you and I have. You may get your Philosopher King, but just not the philosophy you are hoping for.

Think about the philosopher king ruling idea. With DJT you got one, just not the philosophy that you and I have. You may get your Philosopher King, but just not the philosophy you are hoping for.
As regards childhood development. While my first inclination is to agree. I have to point out my own family. Myself and two sisters were raised in a project, by a single mother, who acted out her frustrations and anger, on us kids,, she worked in a bank for $1 an hour and was totally absorbed in her own woes and self pity, to the exclusion of us kids.
Yet we three grew up fine, or at least as well as can be in this world. I'm a retired "mustang" (enlisted to officer) have an MBA, my son and his daughter have PhD's.
I could never be a millionaire, because I have morals (not Christian morals, but a sense of right and wrong and a conscience, none of which I picked up from my mother, who was essentially absent, except she made me fight my own battles, would not coddle me, and had me perform household chores, and woe if I didn't.
In case you didn't know it, there is a genetic component to our makeup, not just physical, but
in our character and personality, as well as a cultural. It is nature and culture, not or.
You may not want a 135 IQ, so you got a 90 IQ DJT. He may not be your idea of a philosopher king, but he is one for about 74 million voters.
By the way as a fetus, my father was a US Marine, a private who married without his commanders permission (1938) so my mother, pregnant with me, had to live on what was left after my Dad's pay of $30 a month, in a rented room eating left over meals, and using one sheet of toilet paper while carrying me, she was malnourished and lost two teeth, and other nutrients because a fetus is like a parasite, it takes what it needs from the host, leaving the host to make up the difference, in her case she had no way to replenish, not on cold mashed potatoes.
Yet I have or had, a 138 IQ, but don't sweat it I have had no desire to be president. Too much responsibility and still you aren't your own boss, you may be able to threaten and fire or ruin people, but there is a cabal of plutocrats that you answer to and without their support you are nothing.
I also have a conscience and that means that I am no good at selling unsought goods, or to deceive and defraud people, and that makes me bad at business and politics.
I had friends, fraternal twins, Jack and Jerry. Jerry had a high IQ and chose a career path of being a criminal, and wound up behind bars at Holmesburg State Prison. his 90 IQ brother Jack, got married and made a career as a printer. Dad was an unemployed alcoholic who bragged constantly about his days running with criminals.Jerry with the high IQ chose a career in crime, Jack with the low IQ the opposite. So what happened in the womb, for the two to turn out so differently?
In the orthodox Jewish culture, the Talmud and the law of return in Israel. A person born of a Jewish mother is a Jew, apparently the reasoning is that their identity is inculcated in the womb, by the mother.
Apparently this is what you believe. The fetus is not affected by the noise that it hears, or the motion it feels. It is isolated, and the brain has not yet developed enough to record or be affected by noise. What it grows up to be is determined by biological and cultural "DNA"
