I'll take the contrary position to Yarvin here. Measuring intelligence and athleticism are both good proxies for "spiritual worth" within a given group. This only fails totally when you mix groups that were selected for the traits in question - Goodhart's law. https://twitter.com/Indian_Bronson/status/1273580795794526210 …
Goodhart's law because the measure in this case only works by accident - the overall best are also the best looking, most athletic, smartest, etc. and selecting directly for sprinting speed messes with this by optimizing for the measure. How does Simpson's paradox apply?

mixing groups and finding that your measures are suddenly meaningless- perhaps i overgeneralize, but putting a group where trait X is good and a group where trait Y is good together in your sample may lead you to think either trait is useless or even bad.
