> If I understand correctly, you're asserting that that's causal--that being born into affluence causes children to develop in a way that leads to them "passing" the marshmallow test.
Stop and think.
If you are rich that marshmallow is probably very bland or you've eaten very well today. So maybe two makes more sense.
If you aren't, that marshmallow is super tasty and you probably didn't eat well today. Plus do you believe that grownup when your mom was lying. Someone might come and eat it.
Then some time passes. Rich kids grow up and are more successful. Delayed gratification is key to success!
