The only industries in which (((they))) dominate are those without an apparent meritocracy. They suck at sports so that’s all Jamal and Tyrone. If they are so smart, the leading engineers of our time would all wear little hats... but they don’t.
Banking, ShowBiz, Academia. These are the highest return for lowest effort industries and guess who’s in charge.
Those are great points however my question wasn't whether they are smarter than average but if they actually make good writers for movies and shows since most people seem to enjoy or consume the entertainment they make.
Oh I see. I would say that no, they aren’t better writers than gentiles. They make content that people enjoy because the people don’t have an alternative. The cost to make a show or movie is too high to really allow the market to sort for quality... especially when so few gatekeepers actually control access anyway.
Truth be told, look at how much good content can be found on YouTube (hell, even TikTok). Once the barriers to entry are lowered, you see that “regular” people are very creative and funny... more so than the “professionals” in many cases.
That's a good point I will consider, thanks.
