Inequality is the basis of everything there is. The manic pursuit of equality is leading to the destruction of man and society.

It makes you view the loss of low skill jobs in a whole new light, and possibly the folly of "re-training" displaced workers.
-
When there were relatively high-paying low-skill jobs around, I used to say "I envy the guy who is happy and content to sit on an assembly line for 8 hours a day." Stress free. Able to afford a decent standard of living. This is a problem that needs to be examined.
-
I once heard one of the most satisfied jobs was a local truck driver. Home every night with his job completed. Literally could not take his work home with him.
-
Oh man, I can just imagine a politician reading that and thinking "Must create more local truck drivers jobs!" I'd actually be all for that if their solution was to implement 1600 annual working hours...but I'm going off on a bit of a tangent here...

Does this mean we can quit blaming teachers for some students failing to make high grades? Could we please acknowledge that no matter how good a teacher is, a student with low IQ is going to struggle and sometimes even fail?
-
Yes. But don't hold your breath.

That essay could've been a *lot* shorter. What's the point in adding the Bryant story? Colour? Highlighting a bad white man? There's the Trump dig, etc. CultMarx seeks mixing of all ppl so we end up w/ a mean IQ of c. 85 (except elites who keep apart). Is that Wael Taji's answer?
-
Good points/questions. The Bryant story is being used to give us a study case - we process these ideas and speculate if they might apply to him; it is helpful. Your Commie-Radar is stronger than mine - the Trump dig hardly registered to me. I know it is important to some ppl.
-
Bryant is an extreme outlier with complications. It invites people to reflect on, say, Andrew Cunanan who went on a killing spree (ending with the murder of Versace), but mirrored Bryant's intellect w/ an IQ of 147. The McNamara part was more helpful, imo.

The late john McCain was murderous, he was high IQ fighter pilot. He confounds the data.

are you suggesting spending more on education, healthcare, and the poor and the needy. A welfare system which recognises the cognitive inequality. I'm impressed - but I don't think its a Republican policy.

Article does not mention race and IQ, unfortunately.

I have no idea if you're being serious. If you are, why is that unfortunate?
