To Fix Society, and Marginalized Groups, We Must Study IQ
Currently, in academia, discussing IQ is almost a 3rd rail.
The left, who have taken over academia, feel that accurately discussing IQ is putting people down. "They can't help it if they are stupid"
But, we really need to discuss it, because if we continue to ignore it, we are doomed to Communist Govern-cement again, or worse.
(and i mean communism as a form of oppressive govern-cement where everyone is equal in sharing poverty and starvation)
Everyone is not equal!
This is a good thing. Things would get boring otherwise. Do you always pick the strongest character on the easiest setting when you play a game?
However, we must create a society based on what we have, not based on any ideal conditions or wishful thinking.
The military found that below 83 IQ, there is nothing that that person can be tasked to do by themselves that will be a net positive. This is from a group that loves cannon fodder and needs people to dig trenches.
About 13% of the population falls below this line. 1 in 8 people.
That is a large group that HAS TO BE taken care of, watched in every task they do, and can often be a threat to their caretakers.
There are people even further down the curve that need constant care. Taking the time of one other person to continue their existence.
On the flip side, 1 in 8 people are very smart, and help humanity advance in areas of study, science and manufacturing.
They are the entire reason that humanity advances.
We also have a moral spectrum
There are people who do not need laws to be good and righteous. They are honest and say what they mean. They hold themselves to a standard that is higher than any constable could illicit.
Unfortunately, we have a lot more people that have to be encouraged to be good, and more below that, that have to be threatened with punishment, to adhere to common moral principals.
What really sucks, for the anti-IQ people, is that this is highly correlated with IQ. If you remove the narcissists, and other cluster B people who have no morals. Then morals are really correlated with IQ.
(Narcissists have no morals. They do not have any warm empathy, so do not see harmful things they do as being wrong. They are just things that they do. They can know that intellectually, it is a bad thing to do.)
(Really high IQ people suffer from understanding the social norm. Most social norms being quite illogical. Same with what societal norms of morals and rules. The Aspergers see the rules as clunky at best, and not what they are advertised to do at worst. So, although they are usually higher on a moral spectrum, they are not seen that way. And, further, it takes some high thinking to get stuck in a maze of if-thens and come out with a really horrible conclusion)
To have a working society, we must address each layer
We need to have jobs/tasks for low IQ people. With supervisors and help on call. AND! We must not allow higher IQ people to take these jobs away. A high IQ person can displace a lower IQ person easily.
Low IQ = janitor
High IQ = scientist or janitor (and often we find high IQ people doing really easy, for them, jobs)
Further, we need places in our society for smart people. Aspies are usually barred from interactions/social society. And where we often make allowances for lower IQ autistic kids, we make no allowances for the aspies that are making our life/society/inventions better.
"Fast cars, hot nightclubs, beautiful women... the Professor designed them all" - Futurama
This is the joke, and the life, of very high IQ person.
To have a very functioning society we need to address the needs of all the groups of people.
We really need to study IQ, and how that IQ creates a portion of our society.
If we were an advanced species, we would create space in our society for each person.
However, our typical response is to push out the people who are strange / weird. To shun them. There are several groups that are completely ignored. When they bring up their problems, they are mocked and ridiculed. Yes, in today's society of hyper-inclusivity, there are groups that are kept out, marginalized, and put down.
The biggest complaint about actually being fair, and working for the betterment of all groups is the limited goods mindset. There isn't enough food, there isn't enough housing… and so, we have groups that say we should get more, and they get more at the expense of other groups. Instead of working on ways for the entirety of society to make more, they argue like children over getting a bigger piece of the cake. And so, other groups, that are ignored, pay extra for society and get less.
I do not know if educating people to deal with other groups, or forming pockets of society for each group will end in a better balance. We will probably explore both in the near future.
However, i do know that IQ plays a huge role in how people think/act. And, in order to fix this problem, we need to understand this problem. Instead of just avoiding the topic because some people feel uncomfortable.
At the current rate of automation people with double digit IQs will need some kind of basic income guarantee to survive because the menial labor they are capable of will be outsourced to bots.
Nope.
Not as in what you say is wrong, that is the current direction the mother WEFers are pushing us. They are seriously anti-human.
Each person needs a task to feel that they are contributing to their group.
Basic income destroys this.
So, we will need to set aside tasks these low IQ people can do, and let them do it. Also, keep higher IQ people away from these tasks.
Key word here is "feel." Will having the low IQ people dig ditches and fill them back in be a more efficient use of resources than just paying them enough to survive? Employing people to do unproductive things will actually cost us more in bureaucracy and overhead costs than just mailing checks. And of course there will still likely be volunteer work they can do on their own initiative. job guarantee program is actually more closely aligned with what the post-Keynesian globalist want for the future.
