once it gains currency and so it becomes common sense that public resources should be devoted to tracking high IQ people into prestige roles and low IQ people into the roles nobody wants it's a political idea, which kind of makes it seem like it always was

it'd be one thing if you could give people an observation without them trying to use it coercively for advantage, but you can't, so don't we kind of have to work with that from jump?

gotta say i do tend to think that a lot of sectors of intellectual endeavor are collapsing under the weight of their ham-fisted motivated falsifications of reality, but i don't think that means we can claim observation is apolitical, especially when it requires an observer
