Sorry, but this whole list reeks of "too much liberal arts, not enough STEM". If the verbal tilt theory holds any weight, it is likely a "self-cleaning" function against breeding future dictators with excessive neurotic traits. Castro was a lawyer and Stalin was going to be a priest, btw. https://kirkegaard.substack.com/p/the-verbal-tilt-model https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17881137/

Counter-conjecture: most STEM celebrities who are privately educated like to breed, like Curie, Darwin, and Freud. Asociality, neuroticism, drug abstinence, and education halts child-rearing but not IQ, conscientiousness, or physical development. Is it likely that universities acts are "adult daycare" and neuters for the shouting/chattering class? https://wyclif.substack.com/p/the-natural-selection-paper-part https://archive.ph/XBCUQ
