      Wow. Just wow. THIS is a perfect example of why many in academia find ourselves thinking we are not "smart" enough to be scientists. Rather than use your status & privilege to build people up, you are rating colleagues based on perceived IQ. Full. Stop. #AcademicTwitter #phdchat https://twitter.com/drmichaellevin/status/1216199327959351296 …

      it doesnt determine your moral value but some things are just really hard to do without certain levels of ability everyone in science knows this and talks about it constantly if circumlocutiously

      No one questions the idea of different people having different physical abilities but based on that thread, while admittedly an unfortunate example as the guy seems like a bit of an ass, we aren't supposed to even consider varying mental abilities in any way.

      My personal view is IQ is an absurdly simplistic notion and I also strongly doubt the overall correctness of purely fixed mental capacity, as opposed to slowly changing but trainable akin to physical strength. But his overall point about reaching concepts we can't grasp I get.

      Yeah I think you're roughly right for (several dozen tweets worth of reasons) More curious is like Has she ever met IQ 90 people? Who don't understand fractions? They're just not gonna make it in science. Extrapolate from there

          Yeah. I don't use such examples as it's rather pissing into the wind of modern sensibilities but I think your point is quite sound. 😉

          It's also legitimately hard for someone to determine from the outside in my view. Part of my sister's motivation was a high school stats teacher claiming she had plateaued. She ultimately earned a PhD in physics after a 4.0 undergrad double in math and physics.

          I rail against IQ obsessives, but don't know why it has to be such a trigger word. In context, he's clearly saying he infers intelligence from what people can do, not vice versa. AFAIK all the problematics come from the vice versa.

          If you say "I know that person can accomplish amazing things because I think they've got a high IQ, which I believe bc they can do amazing things", you may be overestimating their IQ score, but since the IQ term cancels out in the equation, your circular conclusion's pretty safe.
