Do you think there is any correlation between intelligence and morality?

Morality implies common rules for everyone to play life game. The more intelligent you are, the more chances you have to win by fair play. The less intelligent you are the more temptation you have to use a foul play to win, i.e. to behave immorally.
JP sure knows just about everything. Not going to get anything over on him because he sees all.
What talented people can get by merit, people without talent can get only by cheating.
I have to wonder if there is an anomaly in the statistics... Call it "the midwit effect" of sorts. I have generally been at odds with my peers, even in gifted education programs, and test around three standard deviations above the norm of IQ. The problem with IQ association studies, in my opinion, is that people with a 110-120 IQ are generally more competent than the average person and common enough to form a social pressure group.... And yet are not that intelligent by comparison to the abilities of people a full two or three standard deviations.
The thing is that when you have a certain affinity for insight, moral behavior becomes rather obvious as a solution to a large number of problems... Kind of a horseshoe graph that brings extremely high and low IQ together while the people just smart enough to fool themselves think they know something their predecessors didn't.
The problem is that any consensus among moral behavior among those with very high IQs would be washed away in the aggregate data.
That said, it's possible I underestimate the diversity of moral opinion among those with IQs in the same range as my own or higher. As a lawyer I like to listen to likes to say - motivation is the master of reason, reason is not the master of motivation - so everyone is likely to use their intelligence to rationalize their behavior as moral as opposed to use reason to divine those behaviors which should be regarded as moral.
It's intriguing to notice that Chinese and Japanese populations have lower testosterone levels yet higher average IQs compared to Western populations. This could suggest, if this also applies to all populations, that due to testosterone's role in social hierarchy and mating success at early ages, different evolutionary pressure factors may prioritize intelligence over physical traits and alternately. So higher IQ might have his downfols too.
It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking the world "owes you" greatness.
The world doesn't owe any of us a damned thing. It is WE who owe it to the world, to put our intelligence, our strength, all of our abilities, to use for the benefit of our fellow human beings, and to ask NOTHING, save perhaps a fair wage for our efforts, in return. Even then, what is "fair" must constitute an agreement between all parties, made in the interest of all said parties, based on each other's trust in one another, and each other's desires to see all parties succeed. #WakeUpFromWoke #LiveWithoutFear
Moral frameworks might be rooted in anthropic cognitive biases and cultural norms, which higher IQ individuals can more easily recognize and critique, potentially leading to a sense of moral relativism or detachment. So it might be inversely correlated.
