Granted there's some overlap here (in the sense that if your parents and your parents' parents weren't blessed with those opportunities, there's a higher likelihood that you're not getting the genius IQ genes).

Did I fall into some sort of logic warp where "some people" in my post meant all people? or most people? or the majority of people? Maybe I'm wrong, but "genes are the biggest differentiators for 75% of people" doesn't contract "opportunity is the biggest differentiator for some people" in any way.
Again, who is arguing that factors outside of this aren't an issue? Who? Did anyone deny the effects of genes or community? Why are you bringing up climate change? Why is Cliff making this a left/right issue?
I feel like I've gone insane.
