    David Chapman Retweeted Geoffrey Miller

    I’ve been radicalized about this by my mother’s dementia. As her effective IQ sank, it became obvious how many institutions make life so difficult for lower-IQ people, completely unnecessarily. But, indeed, often to the benefit of the high-IQ.https://twitter.com/primalpoly/status/1033799904806588417 …

    Many high-IQ people collude (subconsciously) to make society as confusing & complicated as possible to lower-IQ people. It's taboo to discuss this 'cognitive oppression', because discussing IQ differences is taboo. Interesting how convenient that is for the cognitive elite https://twitter.com/TaniaArline/status/1033776636150337537 …

        Might I suggest that actually high IQ isn't an advantage and that society is biased towards the mean range to the detriment of outliers at either end of the spectrum

        Haven't read the article. Don't wanna. I've been inside this machine - in my experience people who makes these forms are making them hard through ignorance, typical mind fallacy and idiocy. I'm hoping that the tech/web radical focus on users eventually filters to govt & co.

        Whatever word you choose to substitute for iq it will acquire the same odor. The concept itself is just very impolite.

        I don't know how much of it is intentional and how much of it just that people think that people like them and those they know are at baseline. But it's definitely a thing.https://twitter.com/trumwill/status/793689279256006656 …

        Seems sometimes complex-minded, high-functioning people created a system where only same can tread water.

        If it becomes possible through genetic engineering to raise IQ then surely it would be immoral not to use this technology to help with the problems that lower IQ people face
