Maybe everyone doesn't, but I do. Slightly higher, actually. Since "condescending to people less intelligent" is the rhetorical mode you wish to take, let me refer you back to the original statement: "some poor brown people will clean up" >>>

Replying to @MorlockP @robinhanson
If 10 people clean up and 5 are poor and brown, is it correct or incorrect to say that poor brown people will clean up? Does the fact that poor white people ALSO clean up invalidate a "yes" to the first question? Even someone handicapped by a mere 155 should be able to answer.

Haha, imagine playing credentialism with a Mensa card. That's not a brag in this corner of the internet.

It ain't a brag in any circle I've ever moved in.

In fact, given how many people I know/have known in psychology, I'd say it's almost an ANTI-brag.

My IQ's around 108 but I never felt any envy of those qualifiers. I once attended an 'intellectual discussion group' and the guy who ran the meeting told me I was the only one his wife ever liked because I actually talked to her. They seem like an insufferable lot.

My IQ is...rather high, but unlike most such people I do not believe that makes me a better person. And I don't share the "progressive" belief that "experts" or "the smartest people" should rule. NOBODY should rule. And ethics are the measure of a person, not IQ.

In my view, intelligence (ie brain function speed & efficiency) is no more an indicator of an individual's worth than beauty, musical talent, physical strength, health, manual dexterity, ability to memorize or any other such characteristic.

exactly agree with this: * intelligence = speed & depth of analysis * has nothing to do with moral worth / is an accident of birth
