Yeah I don't think there's much of a difference if a kids' parents are 20 or 40 - obviously there's an impact and statistically children of younger parents should be slightly 'superior' genetically to kids of older parents with the same environmental factors, but again I don't think it plays nearly as big of a role as environment or the way you were raised, education, etc.
I also think the whole IQ thing is blown way out of proportion as it correlates with success and quality of life. Just because someone is successful financially doesn't always mean they have a higher IQ - remember those tests consist of solving puzzles. I can find you tons of Chinese dudes who are wizards at math and IQ tests but are average/slightly above average financially, and on the other end of the spectrum you can go online and find plenty of 'normal' or even below-average people that are CEO's of big companies. I love watching Grant Cardone because it reminds me that you don't have to be genius to be worth $300M. (Speaking of Grant, check out his daughters who he had around age 50-55 and tell me they don't look like normal, healthy kids)
Would you rather be someone born to older parents with an IQ of 100 but great life experiences, street smarts, and a desire to succeed or would you rather be someone born to young parents with an IQ of 110 but had everything handed to you and raised in a leftist home for example?
