Intellect is commonly cited as the reason for the lack of success of certain groups that are behind, but i thinks its actually ideology.
this explains the stereotypical college liberal. Statistically they usually have at or slightly above average IQ.
its rather their ideology, not their intellect, that makes them make "stupid" decisions
Same thing goes for every person on earth.
If one is raised around folks who promote and an ideology that value intellect and hard work. That same person will grow up to have said ideology, regardless of intelligence.

You are correct. The biggest issue with black problems in the US for example is not them being "stupid", its a culture that sets them to absolute failure and poverty. Spending tons of cash on pointless status symbols, thug culture, gang culture, ghetto culture.
It just perpetuates it.
ideologies can do it to an extent, not all things work in the world, only those suitable to progress in it, can. Others fail.
The ability to conceptualise ideology is an expression of intellect

I see what your saying, but i would say that its more of a personality trait to conceptualize an ideology rather than ideology.
Note how it seem college professor seems to blindly follow liberal ideology using cognitive dissonance to make up for its pitfalls.
While some poor guy will scream 'YOLO' when you tell them to save their money for the future. And they'' Explain their choice as " you don't know when you'll die, so live for the moment"
my real point is to say that ideology can help shape a more/less intelligent person to approach the world more/less productively.
