      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

      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

      If nothing else, on the small-scale day-to-day level where we live most of the time, *money is power* (I'm still kind of seething over Scott's incredibly headass post where he tried to deny this fact and be like "Hey money is only useful for, like, buying stuff")

      Now I'm reminded of Justine Tunney suddenly flipping from far-left to far-right (she started off running the Occupy Wall St. Twitter account and website before becoming a hardcore neoreactionary) because people dared say techbros had power

      Most programmers just get well-paid and have fairly little power over the goals of society or even what software they built. Most techie hatred just seems to be anger of the cool kids that the people who were losers in high school get paid so well...

          If there were ever any truth to this narrative it's ancient history by now, shit from the '70s and the '80s I absolutely guarantee you that the majority of the Cool Kids in high school right now are looking forward to "careers in tech"

          But sure all of the people who dislike techbros and find them a baleful influence on society are just versions of Biff Tannen (who is now, *checks notes* 84 years old), pissed that being quarterback on the football team no longer automatically leads to a career in i-banking
