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 …

The question is always how much of that is willful irresponsibility, and how much is a mind that is not naturally forward-thinking and organized. I think that, for many more than we think, it can be the latter.

I have a daughter with some cognitive deficits. She’s not retarded, but low-normal IQ. She means well, and follows instructions gamely, but get beyond a 3-step process (especially over days/weeks) and she struggles.

3/ "Maybe this isn't for them" ...so what's your alternative? Kill them? Sterilize them? I wish we didn't have a cognitive underclass, but we do, and we can't morally just say "eh, !@# them - lock them up every time they jaywalk and let them rot" https://twitter.com/JurisNaturalism/status/1034428197327327232 …
