      I actually don't care about whether you think my IQ makes me a better or worse person in some abstract metaphysical sense I care about whether you think it should be used to determine whether to allow me to hold positions of power and responsibility

      Okay, well, Scott clearly thinks whether high-IQ or low-IQ people are the ones doing important jobs is *very* important and has talked about this several times

      You'll probably accuse me of eugenics as well now, but I'd prefer my GP not to believe in acupuncture and actually know something about medicine

      A really interesting fact about IQ was that there was a survey given to Canadian Mensa Members (you can only get membership if you’re proven to score in the 98th or higher percentile of iq) and 44% of them believed in astrology and 56% in alien victors.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/14952987_Dysrationalia_A_New_Specific_Learning_Disability …

      There is extensive research showing that more educated people tend to have more extreme beliefs than the less educated, suggesting that education increases rationalization ability, rather than correctness, or else the beliefs would narrow towards the truth. 1/2

      Yet opinionated beliefs are not the same as the ability to perform a task. This is why it's important to have democracy to set the agenda, but give the jobs to those who are most capable of doing them.

      I do not believe that testing for the ability to perform a task without actually observing someone performing the task for real is a trivial task And I believe the idea that one can test *generally* for the ability to "perform tasks" (the g-factor) is false

      You may not believe it, but the scientific evidence is extremely strong that the correlation between the g-factor and the ability to perform cognitive tasks is large. The problem that observing someone is often extremely costly and/or hard. 1/2

      When you demand the unreasonable, people usually start cheating (as a Stalinist, that should be familiar to you). We pretty consistently see that the alternative to general testing is influence peddling, benefiting the rich and powerful. 2/2

      Yup, the problem with all other methods of social sorting is they're all "subjective" and "irrational" and therefore benefit the already-powerful But standardized testing just measures objective truths and puts the people in power who objectively should be there Awesome

          (I wonder if people know that the word "meritocracy" was coined in a *satirical* essay -- "The Rise of the Meritocracy" -- about how the basic concept was hypocritical, logically self-defeating and impossible)

          The true positions of power are not usually achieved through testing, but through other means. Your entire argument is false for that reason, because you fail to distinguish between the workers who just do what they are told (most of us) and the few with significant power.

          Yes, under a Marxist analysis a highly paid software engineer in San Francisco is in the "working class" the same as a burger-flipper in Wichita, and the members of the "ruling class" are indeed very few However, the idea that the engineer *has no power* is horseshit
