        IQ is merely a base point. The issue is #indoctrination —> inability to see beyond their Kael Bubble, need to #virtuesignal

        Yep. It takes high IQs to screw things up as bad as the Establishment has. Dumb people know their limits. Smart people don't.

        .@charlesmurray @PutinsLilPony @VDHanson Would big newspaper journalists count as reasonably selected? Because you might not win that bet.

        How about #AltRight? I will accept bet a reasonably chosen sample of #AltRight has higher IQs than your establishment types.

        Top 9% or so? I don't know. If so, hard-to-measure factors (psychology, social- & self-interest, being uncurious) loom large.

        indeed. May I suggest you measure IQ of AEI fellows and then we can compare it to the IQ of Harvard faculty.

        The idea that "common people" have better positions & make better predictions than the establishment is ~40 yrs out of date

        The 'establishment' seems to be doing a splendid job inducing the country into a state of perpetual stagnation.
